Connie is not spectacular in any way, but she adores Mara and wants to be just like her. It also makes her very, very lonely.ĭespite being very strong and cold, Mara has one single friend, Connie. It has also made Mara a rather proud woman, because she has these gifts and it sets her above others. She knows that people lie, cheat, and deceive because she can hear their every thought. She can hear the thoughts of others from a very early age, and this has made her very jaded about human nature. She is very pale physically, almost colorless, and possesses extremely strong psychic powers. Mara is the caretaker to her mother, who is suffering from bouts of insanity. Much like Heat, the blurb and cover of this book simply do not do it justice. On another level, it’s a discovery story, and all of this is set amongst a dark, grim, incredibly detailed world. On one level, it’s about friendship in the face of adversity. The Scholomance is, like your other books, a very multi-layered story. I’m not sure I loved it, but I enjoyed the read immensely. I think this was more an admirable, fascinating book more than anything else. I purchased it and it was highly enjoyable, but not in a fuzzy, feel-good sort of way. While I mentioned that Olivia was not for me, you commented that I might enjoy The Scholomance.
