Review this book!
Despite the surface similarity in setting, many factors, including the sexual content, differentiate this boarding-school fantasy, the first of a duology, from Harry Potter. Five orphaned students of uncertain age with unusual names and unusual powers receive a classical education at (are imprisoned in) what seems to be an English boarding school presided over by sinister and inhuman teachers determined to suppress their charges' memories and abilities. Can the five students recover their powers and their pasts in time to discover what plans their captors have for them?
