A very dissapointing story. I saw a recommendation of this and thought it would be a nice novel as I wait for the fourth Nevermoor. Being a musician myself I was obviously drawn to the idea of music as magic.

Well, the story is actually quite lame. Most of the characters were flat and boring. Most of Amelia's class mates were mentioned only a few times, some probably never. The plot had some exciting moments, but not enough to cover for the clichés. And I never felt like Mystwick is a school were I would like to study, I never really wanted musicraft to be real and to learn more about it. The storytelling started as funny and interesting, but again, it wasn't enough for me. I didn't get a good picture of the world run by musicraft.

I must say, though, that the artwork is very pretty and accurate.
