A sizeable chunk of this story is set in a school, the protagonists are teenagers and there are all sorts of fantasy elements blended into the school ranging from bookworms in the library to a labyrinth of tunnels and staircases that never seem to stay in the same place for very long.

I’m going to set this review on it’s head in terms of my usual style by beginning with a few thoughts or maybe even criticisms. A story of assassins with a murderer running amok in their midst.
