Review:
Myth: 3.5/5
This book jumps straight into the action. It was a little jarring, but it was definitely a hook. I had a hard time getting into the romance. I definitely liked the mysterious second voice a lot more. The world was fun, though, magic school, elites, high stakes, and all of this new to our heroine, Quell.
Magic: 4/5
An elite magic school atmosphere, House of Marionne took us into magical studies on grand estates. I enjoyed the house rivalries — think Goblet of Fire, not Quidditch Cup.
Overall: 3.5/5
An enjoyable read, though I wasn’t truly hooked until the last page. Quell needs to figure out who to trust in this new world she’s been thrust into. She has her own agenda, but so does everyone around her. House of Marionne brings a unique magic system to a modern-day world.
