Three best friends, 18yo Raven, Atticus, and Dorian, want more than anything to attend the Sibylline University to learn about magic. They’re devastated when they’re denied enrollment. They come up with a plan together, gain employment at Sibylline and learn whatever they can while they’re working around the magical students, professors, books and buildings. Atticus can sense emotions and is hired as an architect assistant. Raven can translate any language and is hired to help in the university library. Dorian can read items and he’s hired as an art detective to discover forgeries. They get pulled into a dangerous mystery that's putting the university in danger and it’s going to take wise use of their skills to keep the three friends alive.
I enjoyed the quotes from classic literature at the beginning of each chapter. I did enjoy the mystery and storytelling. This book is marketed to young adult readers, 14 and up, by the publisher, but has adult content.
Raven is Asian. Dorian is white, and Atticus is Latino
