A review by pelicanfreak
The Rise of Issa Igwe by Shanna Miles

4.0

This was different from most other magical / fantasy / witchy academy reads I’ve experienced, so that made it fun. And it took an interesting approach while packing in some fun world-building. If you like books with magic that are set in the ‘real’ world, you’ll like this one, I expect.
