This world is phenomenal. I desperately want to be a Marveller, even if I'm biased.
E ARC provided by Edelweiss PlusElla is excited by apprehensive to be the first Conjuror to attend the Arcanum Training Institute. This school floats in the air and changes its appearance every year, and students travel to it by a magical water-zeppelin. Students come from all over the world, and have language crystals that help with translation. This makes for a very multicultural school, although most students are from Marveller communities and not Fewel ones; Ella is from Conjurer communities...
I'm so excited for this series! "The Marvellers" was fun with so many exciting discoveries in each chapter! There are so many elements to the world Dhonielle Clayton created and I look forward to reading many books to unlock all the secrets. I received an ARC of " The Marvellers" with no expectation for a review.
I literally pressed "want to read" after reading the first sentence. Black led MG fantasy with a magic school setting? I'm gonna say yes every time!
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley and am voluntarily posting a review. All opinions are my own. We’ve been long overdue for more diverse takes on the fantasy magic school setup, and 2022 is bringing readers a few great options! The Marvellers is a fun middle grade debut from YA author Dhonielle Clayton, which contains a perfect mix of the whimsy and creeping sense of danger that you want from a book of this type. I love the world building and how it reflects how culturally rich
Many thanks to the author for the e-arc, I am very grateful.Note: My english review will be at the end, just scroll down. “Some things have to be faced. They can’t be avoided.” Español: Estamos ante el que espero sea mi nuevo instituto de magia favorito, el Arcanum Training Institute for Marvelous and Uncanny Endeavors es la academia de magia del mundo que la autora construyo, y a diferencia de anteriores escuelas de magia que aclamaban ser abiertas para todas las personas de todas las cultura...
Note: I was provided an ARC of this novel at the North Texas Teen Book Festival.“The Marvellers” is a book with a number of strengths: it brings us fascinating, creative magical systems, a world full of life and history that feels like a natural fit for said magic system, and characters who are engaging to read about.Unfortunately, it is also a novel with a number of weaknesses.Let’s start with the most prevalent: the worldbuilding. Now, once the story gets going, it is incredibly easy to become...
This was fantastic! It isn’t even officially released yet, and I already can’t wait for Book 2
I know books are meant to have plots and stakes and conflicts, but I just wanted to dive into a Marvellers encyclopedia! What magnificent worldbuilding.

"first in a fantasy series set in a magic school in the sky where students from around the world come together to practice their cultural marvels. Ella Durand, the first Conjuror to attend the Arcanum Training Institute, must overcome anti-Conjuror prejudice to track down a missing teacher and protect the school from a magical threat." (x)YES PLEASE.
Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group for providing an e-ARC of The Marvellers in exchange for an honest review. Ella Durand is an eleven year old conjuror who is attending the Arcanum Training Institute, a magic school in the sky. She is the first conjuror to ever attend the Marvellian school and many students, teachers and parents mistrust the magic her family practices. When a dangerous criminal known as the Ace of Anarchy escapes from the Underworld prison, supposedly...
I'm obviously in the minority here, but this book is just not a successThis is such a Harry Potter wanna-be (and I say this as a mild fan of HP like 10 years ago) without any of the successes of the books. - There's division into 5 houses based on talent, or "marvels," but people can have more than 1 of that talent and can even steal each other's (not explained). I'm over this very old and now outdated trend to separate people into different categories based on some random trait/talent that is n...
The Arcanum Training Institute for Marvelous and Uncanny Endeavors claims to be open to everyone, except, until now, Conjurers. And while the administrators of this fine magical academy say all are welcome, Ella’s family and friends warned her that there would be those who cling to the stereotype that Conjurer magic is evil. There is also the threat of evil returning, as any good fantasy would have. This story is about acceptance, good vs. evil, and overcoming stereotypes. Ella faces many challe...
This story is Dhonielle Clayton's Middle-Grade debut however you cannot even tell. She tells this story with the true whimsey that it deserves. This story is so incredibly fun. As someone who loves what the YA genre can bring this story does all of that. The magic is delightful. Every middle schooler dreams of going to boarding school, or at least I did, and this book makes that desire even more real. With so many mysteries to unfold the story is unendingly engaging.
