Sorcery and Society Book 1 If 14-year-old Cassandra Reed makes it through her first day at Miss Castwell’s Institute for the Magical Instruction of Young Ladies without anyone discovering her secret, maybe, just maybe, she’ll let herself believe that she really does belong at Miss Castwell’s. Except Cassandra Reed’s real name is Sarah Smith and up until now, she lived her whole life in the Warren, serving a magical family, the Winters, as all non-magical “Snipes” are bound by magical Guardian law to do. That is, until one day, Sarah accidentally levitates Mrs. Winter’s favorite vase in the parlor... But Snipes aren’t supposed to have magical powers...and the existence of a magical Snipe threatens the world order dictated during the Guardians’ Restoration years ago. If she wants to keep her family safe and protect her own skin, Sarah must figure out how to fit into posh Guardian society, master her newfound magical powers and discover the truth about how an ordinary girl can become magical. “Witty and classic, Changeling had everything I wanted from a coming of age story: friendship, scandal, and a heroine learning to flex her magical muscles. If you liked Harry Potter, you will love CHANGELING!” -Kristen Simmons, critically acclaimed author of the Article 5 series “Molly Harper’s Changeling is masterful fantasy—a spunky Cinderella story with a heroine who’s equal parts compassion, determination, and pure magical delight.”Rachel Vincent, author of the Soul Screamers series and The Stars Never Rise “Harper is a great writer and she creates great characters, but also an entertaining world.” – Sassy Sarah Reads “I really enjoyed the humor and author personality that is just unique to itself. Harper is a great writer.” – Krissy’s Bookshelf

Cassandra Reed is getting ready to start school at Miss Castwell's Institute for the Magical Instruction of Young Ladies. As you can tell by the name, it's a school for girls with magical abilities. The thing is, Cassandra shouldn't have magical abilities. She's actually Sarah Smith, and she's a snipe. Snipes are non-magical people that serve the Guardian families that do have magic.
Sarah didn't know she had magic until she was under stress, and she used magic in front of her employer Mrs Winter. Knowing that she could be killed for being a snipe with magic, she's terrified. But, Mrs. Winter knows that if people found out about Sarah's magic, the scandal would ruin her family. So instead of turning her in, she creates Cassandra Reed.
Now Sarah will have to forget who she really is so no one will find out her secret.
I really liked this book. It was funny, I loved Sarah, Ivy, and all the girls. Even the mean ones. This is a quick, light read. I look forward to more.
I received a copy from Net Galley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
A little bit steampunk, a little bit magic school. Kind of charming. I do hope the series continues.
Full of tropes and reuse of ideas from other books, but put together in a fun and interesting way. Fluffy, but enjoyable. :)
