But Silhouettes who fail the challenges seem to be disappearing and rumours are spreading of a growing dark force that threatens her world. Zhi Ging begins to realise that there is so much she has yet to learn about the world of the immortals - and herself. Join Zhi Ging on an incredible adventure to an underwater realm, a floating market and a jade mountain as she journeys to fulfil her extraordinary destiny . . . The first in the unmissable magical fantasy series of 2024, set to take the world by storm. Perfect for fans of Nevermoor, Dragon Mountain and Amari and the Night Brothers.

It has magic and a school,but this felt less Rowling and more Pratchett,with lots of magical elements thrown at you in a chaotic way;but while that's a praise on his books,it's not in this instance.I feel this novel needs polishing.The purpose of the book seems to be to introduce you to this universe, since it finishes when things start to happen, but after 350 pages I was left with more questions than answers about it, I feel lost in this world.

nanuska_153 It would benefit of an explanation of the different realms and what each does. I found the school system nonsensical, sometimes there doesn't seem to be a distinction between alumni and teachers; you join the same class doesn't matter when you start; and the tests are the same regardless of your level, for some their last test is the same than for others the first one, someone that's there for a year fails a test that people that have been there⬇️ 6mo
nanuska_153 there less than a week pass? Do they learn anything in that school? Also, what's the purpose for society of this immortal beings? What's their skillset, beside age-shifting, how are their powers used to help society? 6mo
nanuska_153 Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for this ARC in exchange of my honest review 6mo
