If you are looking for a tbate clone this is the book for you. But to be completely honest you’d be better rereading tbate. It doesn’t have a majorly different plot, so you basically already know everything that is gonna happen. Also it doesn’t do anything better than tbate only worse. The pacing is very off. It will introduce pieces of the plot that happened in tbate but it won’t go into nearly as much detail or spend as much time on it. Like the academy. Nothing substantial happens at the academy. It is like Hi ADADEMY time!! Ohhh they had classes 1 year later bad thing happens and academy ends. However, even though I have been dragging this book through the mud it isn’t a bad book. I mean I read it, but it just set my standards too high by comparing it to tbate. Like it has the plot elements and characters similar to tbate, but it doesn’t have the essence of what makes tbate tbate. Tl;dr: It shouldn’t of tried so hard to be like tbate, but still miss the mark.
