For a book I enjoyed the world present to us , I'll give only (but it's not bad) 3 stars and the main reason is INSTA-LOVE. Please, no, no. Do you really need it? No. And even less when it's done in an unbelievable way. (view spoiler)[ I mean, the girl moves in a new town, thinks the guy who's working at the bar behind her appartement is cute. Ok. The first day she enters, he kinda freaks her out, follows her and tells her mysterious things and the same day she accepts a date with him. A real-What-i-am-going-to-wear date, not i-want-answers-before-the-movie date, she's kind of asking questions but not really. I get her confidence in him might come from the fact that they're supposed to be together and all but it did felt a little weird and way to quick but what can I do? I did enjoy the mythology building, the school that looks like Xavier's institute, cool abilities and all, I don't need much more. 
 i've also read about how for a 80 year old girl, Elyse (and her friends) acts like real teenagers or at least not very mature adults but in their world, well they are, aren't they? I know it looks weird to us (i did wonder too) but for people who lives for hundreds of years, 80 years may compared to the teen/young adut for us. Like the Hobbit's are out of age ar 33 for instance. Maybe that could have been explained more, but I did find several sentences that made me understand it that way. (hide spoiler)]
