Kelcie Murphy and the Academy for the Unbreakable Arts (The Academy for the Unbreakable Arts, 1)

All Kelcie Murphy has ever wanted was to find her parents. Ever since the night she was abandoned, Kelcie has been bouncing from one group home to the next.

But fate has a way of playing games, and Kelcie arrives at the Academy for the Unbreakable Arts, a magical school that trains warriors to fight for the lands of Summer. Scared and alone in a world that is not her own, with more questions than answers, Kelcie tests into the school as an Elemental. She’s joined a new group of friends, and she begins to realize that maybe she can have a new life. But soon dark magic starts to interfere, and she realizes she isn’t just fighting the forces of Winter — she’s fighting a legend.

I liked this book because it was a fun story with mythical inspiration interlaced with magic, placed inside a fully realized world. I felt like I was really there with Kelcie and her friends, making me not want to put it down! I really liked all the characters since they seemed relatable and realistic, each with their own flaws and stories. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a thrilling, magical adventure!
