![]() ![]() ![]() overall this story was wonderful, I was lost in it time and time again, it gave me the same sensation as reading Harry potter for the first time as a child. they did feel a bit young to be dealing with the issues they did but I think its probably sadly a reflection of the stolen childhoods that some 16 yours old don't get. the only think I will say is it need a big bold trigger warning as it deals with many mature and difficult topics that may be uncomfortable for people expecting an innocent story about 16 year olds. ![]() I won't say anything more to spoil it but this story is far from predictable (I'm my opinion at least). it almost convinces you that it is until everything flips on you and you realise all these tiny detailed weaved into the story lead to plot twist after plot twist. I will admit at first I was a little sceptical it was just another YA magic book that would be predictable. Loved it! Harry potter for a mature audience ![]()

The representation of a personalized narrative voice contributes to the characteristic tone of David Copperfield its sense of dreamlike intensity unattached to Dickens’s usual mimetic representation of a busy material world.
