‘Edinburgh Nights is essential reading for fans of urban fantasy’
The British Fantasy Society

One final adventure for Ropa Moyo – orphan, mischief-maker and failed magician. Secrets of the First School is the mystery-filled finale to T. L. Huchu’s enchanting Edinburgh Nights series.

‘I’ve had my arse kicked more times than I can count’

Ropa Moyo is dead, banished to the Other Place by the reanimated spirit of Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville of Scotland. Turns out being on the losing side sucks worse than being skint.

Now, the Cult of Dundas intends to ascend to godhood, spreading their corrupting reach from Edinburgh to all of Scotland’s schools of magic. Ropa must find some way to escape the Other Place, save her sister and gather allies across the country before Edinburgh falls.

A royal plot, a family secret and a stolen body. As Scotland descends into petty in-fighting, Ropa’s only hope lies in her grandmother’s final secret: the first school of magic.

An ancient power is returning . . . and is hungry for revenge.

Kritikerstimmen

An artful combination of magic, history and imagination wrapped up in an engaging story (Ben Aaronovitch, bestselling author of Rivers of London on Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments)
Ropa is an irresistible protagonist . . . There's something here for everyone (Olivie Blake, author of The Atlas Six on The Edinburgh Nights Series)
Engrossing and entertaining . . . with genuine emotion – and genuine betrayal (Genevieve Cogman, author of the Invisible Library series on The Legacy of Arniston House)
A fast-paced, future-set Edinburgh thriller . . . mixes magical mysteries with a streetwise style of writing
Ropa’s investigation is thrilling, but Huchu’s real skill lies in crafting a magical contemporary world that feels familiar yet filled with its own secrets . . . This is good fun
Skillfully mixes the city’s Enlightenment history, African magic and thrilling adventure in multiple supernatural worlds, all set against a reimagined Edinburgh on the brink of civil collapse
Just as brilliant as readers could hope for. I highly recommend the Edinburgh Nights series . . . It just doesn't get much better than this

This would be a fantastic TV series, someone make it happen!
I loved the way the story unfolded and how Ropa ends up, very fitting conclusion.
I just wish the narrator didn't sound so indifferent at times.

I still stand by this
