Status Updates From The Last Hope School for Ma...

That has to be the most ridiculous villain origin story. The head mistress refused to tell her STUDENT about her tragic family history, which apparently makes her a liar who doesn't care about him! He's clearly delusional.

Maybe she finds it hard to believe, but I thought it was quite obvious

Wouldn't be smarter to go directly to the head mistress with their theory & ask for her help, instead of doing something that could get them in trouble?

That teacher definitely has it out for her, I'm just not sure why. I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to get her expelled. I don't trust Fox either.

Maybe don't tell strangers you have a rare powerful kind of magic

I feel like Vin should realize by now that she doesn't need to try to hide her magical accidents, as this school is clearly different than the others she's been to, but perhaps I'm expecting too much, since this is a middle grade book.

Cute. I'm sure I would've loved this when I was younger.
