Rachel Griffin has one goal. She wants to know everything. Arriving at Roanoke Academy in the Hudson Highlands, Rachel discovers that her perfect memory has an unexpected side effect. With it, she can see through the enchantment that sorcerers use to hide their secrets. But even her perfect recollection does not help her when she finds a strange statue in the forest—a statue of a woman with wings. Nowhere in the arcane tomes of the Wise nor in the dictionary and encyclopedia of the non-magic-using Unwary can she find mention of such a creature.

A beautiful book
Revisado: 05-21-20
This book delighted me a lot more than I expected. It is in the same general genre as Harry Potter, but it is distinct enough that it didn't feel derivative.
Instead, it gets wondrous and mysterious right out of the starting gate, with the theme that even the magical world of the "Wise" doesn't really understand what is happening.
The characters are colorful and charming, and even the minor ones have personality. The plot is interesting enough that I was eager for the next.
The audiobook version was excellent. There were some minor production issues, like some of the segments seemed slightly muffled. However, it wasn't very distracting, and was overall well worth it. The narrator has a great voice, and I loved how she brought the characters to life by giving them different accents and inflecting her voice with the emotions of the speaker. Not excessively in any way, but rather like the reading-out-loud mannerisms of a very indulgent mother.
