About this listen

If 14-year-old Cassandra Reed makes it through her first day at Miss Castwell’s Institute for the Magical Instruction of Young Ladies without anyone discovering her secret, maybe, just maybe, she’ll let herself believe that she really does belong at Miss Castwell’s. Except Cassandra Reed’s real name is Sarah Smith and up until now, she lived her whole life in the Warren, serving a magical family, the Winters, as all non-magical “Snipes” are bound by magical Guardian law to do. That is, until one day, Sarah accidentally levitates Mrs. Winter’s favorite vase in the parlor....

But Snipes aren’t supposed to have magical powers...and the existence of a magical Snipe threatens the world order dictated during the Guardians’ Restoration years ago. If she wants to keep her family safe and protect her own skin, Sarah must figure out how to fit into posh Guardian society, master her newfound magical powers, and discover the truth about how an ordinary girl can become magical.

I loved all of the chapters, it all fit in perfectly and then there is the narrater - every word is perfect and beautiful!

It was interesting, informative and incredibly tense, which makes it a perfect story.

I really appreciate the narrators effort but 'Northern' english accents slid between Scouse, Welsh, Scottish, irish and a bit of dick van dyke but once Sarah/Cassandra went to school it was much easier to listen to. Good start to a new series.

promising start to new series (apart from accents)

I know the English accents are a bit dodgy but if you keep on going you don’t notice it anymore and the story takes over.

It’s worth it.

Persevere with the narrator

I really enjoyed this. It was a great start to a promising new series. It was a somewhat different style for Molly Harper but very good! I look forward to the next in the series.

Brilliant!!

I love Molly Harper's adult books and liked this one just as much. Initially the slightly mad accents put me off, but I soon stopper noticing it.

feel good story

Molly Harper is a fantastic writer, and Amanda Ronconi’s talent is incredible. Combined, they are a recipe for success. Highly recommend

Incredible as always

This book wasnt what I expected. I found it reminiscent of April White's books. I really enjoyed it. I hope there's more.

I didn't expect this

Very much enjoyed the story and the implicit introduction of social structure etc. it all meshed very nicely. Very interesting take on magic and power as metaphors for class, poverty etc. Despite some geographical clues I have absolutely no idea what regional accents the narrator was aiming for. Indeed a wandering minstrel could not have accumulated so many! The accents changed part way through sentences. Not the first book written by an American and set in England but with American English. But I absolutely loved the story and characters so I can almost overlook these issues. So happy to have found a new series to enjoy.

Sucked into this world!

This is a fun story set in an interesting world. BUT if you are setting a series in England then please use fewer Americanisms or at least use a narrator that understands regional accents. As it is, all of the Snipe characters have accents that roam at will across Great Britain from one word to the next. Amanda Ronconi does a great job usually, just not here.

Fun and enjoyable story spoiled by terrible accents

The story is good but the accents, oh my god.

It does get better once we get into the school portion but up until then I cringed every time the main character spoke

The accents killed me
