Changeling (Sorcery and Society #1), Molly Harper

If 14-year-old Cassandra Reed makes it through her first day at Miss Castwell’s Institute for the Magical Instruction of Young Ladieswithout anyone discovering her secret, maybe, just maybe, she’ll let herself believe that she really does belong at Miss Castwell’s.

Steampunk, meets Harry Potter, meets Charmed. A society, with magic, a killer plot and despite the predictability of the premise, an engaging story-line.

Imagine, Grindlewald succeeded, and Magicians rose to power, only to ‘enslave’ – to a point – non-magic folk, into servitude for the high and mighty of the Magical World. Okay, you’ve imagined the premise for this novel.

Enter Sara.

Sara, is an aforementioned servant, who suddenly has magical powers. Her employers, terrified they would wear the blame for her powers – that she is not meant to have – embrace her as a ‘family member’, here entering Cassandra Reed, who is sent to a magical school.

While the world building was not the best – only noticebale as an avid supporter of world building being an essential aspect of a good novel – the character development, and the development of fatal flaws sufficed in this novel. I look forward to future growth within any future novels featuring Sara aka. Cassandra.
