Summary

Emily is a teenage girl pulled from our world into a world of magic and mystery by a necromancer who intends to sacrifice her to the dark gods. Rescued in the nick of time by an enigmatic sorcerer, she discovers that she possesses magical powers and must go to Whitehall School to learn how to master them. There, she learns that the locals believe she is a "Child of Destiny" - someone whose choices might save or damn their world, a title that earns her both friends and enemies.

A stranger in a very strange land, she may never fit in to her new world, and the necromancer is still hunting her. If Emily can't stop him, he might bring about the end of days.

A great read!

I'm loving it so far. Gonna buy the next book now. The only thing that I really found wrong was that the story is in 3rd person but is written in a way that would have been best suited for 1st person and would have flowed much better than it does. The narrator is great but because of the 3rd person flow, sometimes it feels like we're in Emily's head too much. It could have done with more show and less tell. And because of the 3rd person 1st person narrative of the story, it seems that Emily is talking aloud when she's inside her own head a lot.

Pleasant distraction

After a slow build up and a meandering through past themes settled into a pleasant if unspectacular tale. Good narration helps this story by adding just a touch of "Special" to add enough lift to nudge me into getting the next in the series.

Loved it

Good story, kept my interest throughout. The reference to HP and Star Wars weren’t as annoying as others have suggested and the reader uses a good range of tones and voices.

great book with a compelling story.

this book started out rather slow and author spend considerable effort in setting up the backstory of the main characters, before stepping up a gear and then moving at a great pace. I found this book to be very compelling and on several occasions found myself wanting to listen another 5 minutes just to find out what happened next. already looking forward to the next book in the series.

Fantastic

Really amazing book loved it all. The Harry Potter, Doctor who, and star wars references were really enjoyable because if this did happen this would be the way someone would think. Full of magic and I find story's about magic never have enough magic in them so well worth hearing this book. Brilliant writing too. Glad there are more and I'm looking forward to the next one.
