King Hall is Ms Scarlett's debut novel, and I must say I really enjoyed reading this book. It was by no mean a perfect read, being a "first", King Hall has its flaw. But I thought it deserve to have Five stars due to it's freshness, unique storyline, and witty dialogs. Not to mention very likeable characters!In the world of Com (non-mystical) and Mys (mystical), each mystical creature has a King. And King Hall is where all Mystical attend school to learn and earn their degrees. Including the four that will rise to be their future Kings.This book kind of dive right into the point, not much of story backgrounds. You sort of learn as it goes, and never in detail. I was quite surprised (view spoiler) However, as much as I liked Dominic, I enjoy the "is it there, or not there" chemistry between Lily and Ezra. The book mostly focusing on the friendship developments and the training lessons on the future Kings. I felt this book was about the changes and "revolution" that the prodigies will cause within Mystical structures, rather than Coms vs Mys (since all we read was the mysterious attacks and not much else).I thought the situation between Mys and Coms were a bit peculiar and to be honest quite vague, Given that the suppose "systems" they have and the Coms' knowledge of Mys. Why still living segregated, why are Mys afraid of Coms, given how powerful the Mys were. Not to mention the random open terrorist attack on the Mys? Also, Lily's background should really be quite obvious, yet it was not.There were few elements I really like, the friendship developments between the four future Kings, the connection between Lily and Ezra (seriously something NEED to happen between these two), and the relationships between the current kings and their prodigies.
