About this listen

In a world where magic is a science, Siobhan Naught is a genius.

But even geniuses need schooling.

Siobhan has just been banned from the country's only magical university. As the unwitting accomplice to the theft of a priceless magical artifact, she has suddenly become a wanted criminal. There are fates worse than death, and if caught, she will face them. Unwilling to give up on her dream of becoming the world's most powerful sorcerer, she resolves to do whatever it takes to change her fate.

Even if it means magically disguising herself as a boy and indebting herself to a gang of criminals to pay for university tuition.

With the coppers after her, the pressure of trying to keep her spot in the devilishly competitive magic classes, and the gang calling in favors to repay her debts, Siobhan will need every drop of magic she can channel.

This was a really fun story and felt quite original. I liked the setting and the restrictive rules governing the magic. My only criticism would be that the pace is very, very slow. You'll have a dozen plot points pass and it'll have been like 2 weeks. I write this review having just enjoyed book 3 in the series. In this book she starts school, in book 3 she hasn't finished the first term of year 1.

Narration, characters, setting, plot were all good though. Would definitely recommend.

If you loved ‘Name of the wind’ you won’t be disappointed!

MC is easy to relate to and story is very satisfying with few unexpected twists.

This series(so far) is focused on coming to power so similarly as in Patrick Rothfuss’s books pace can be slow but it isn’t boring at any point.

Great world building with great cast of well put together characters!

Highly recommend.


My new favourite!

This book is really fun the main character is super entertaining the backdrop of this confidence scheme ala lies of lock lamora combined with progression fantasy is great.

Great start to a series

This book at least reminds me most of the first half of mistborn, combined with "insert any story here of student required to attend dream education in another identity". Not a bash, there is a reason there is so many of them.
The voice actor is phenomenal, though character voices aren't very differentiated.

A lovely magicsystem with alit of creativity
