Welcome to Litsy!

It's too similar to the Harry Potter series in general framework (and some specific details).

I have an online snow day today, so I had a few Zoom meetings this morning but also time to finish this magical story. I thoroughly enjoyed the world building and characters in this story. It‘s very much about friendship and prejudice as well. I could see some of the events coming but there were still plenty of interesting twists. It‘s clearly the beginning of a series, but it also contained a complete story.

While cleaning out my “to read” list here, I decided to download any graphic novels that were available from my library. This was the first one I read because it was the one I was most excited about - but it fell a little flat. The storyline moved a little too quickly - long standing resentments resolved in a frame or two - but the characters were great. I wanted more!

Ella Durand is the first Conjurer to attend Arcanum Training Institute, where Marvellers learn to discover and develop their magical talents. She is a brave and persistent girl. The Marvellers is a middle grade fantasy that tackles some important real-world issues while being suspenseful and engaging. The world building is detailed, creative and vivid with a well woven plot. A highly recommended addition to the magic school genre.

I LOVED IT! This book was amazing and so hard for me to put down. I can't wait to read the next book and excited for the rest of the series to come out.

"She fazed around and found Lian squeezing between Abina and Clare."..."I do think, sir, with all due respect, that my father, Dr. Wong, the Supreme Marveller Judge, would want me happy."

"The competitors snatched the lids off and started singing to their rice. A jolt went up Ella's spine. Their songs reminded her of conjure spells. Were they similar?"

"I want to be marvelous too."..."But you already are."..."Brigit's compliment felt like a rare jewel."
