Tainted Legacy reminds of Harry Potter. The world building itself has some sort of the feels but I need to assure you, it is different. Just having the vibe of it. That's all. Nonetheless, Tainted Legacy is a story of Ava Black from Black family which has a big reputation in the Gifted Community. Ava Black has been kept away from the community from her day one born into this world. Not because of herself but more to her parents need to protect her from something worse. The situation has already worse itself. Thus, when she enters Ash Academy, she is in shock when everyone knows who she is and afraid of her. It is weird to her when she didn't do anything bad to them, so why would they hate her?
Her journey in Ash Academy will begin. She wants to prove to everyone that she is kind and a nice person but it seems that it is hard until she realizes what is her ability that been gifted to her.
Ava Black - she is a naive person. So, when people hate her for something she didn't understand why makes her heartache and try to uncover the truth behind those hateful things. Her character is very lovable even though people hate her, she couldn't be bothered with it. As long as she can mind her business while having super wonderful friends around her is enough. Her character is strong but there are at times she is fragile and takes action without think first. Still, I love her character.
While Demetri is from White family. I don't like his character at first because he is annoying to the max. He is so rude also an icy cold heart he has because of what had happened to his family that has something to do with Black's family. The secret he holds is not easy things to do not because of the reputation that he will inherit from his legacy but more because of the situation is what makes him decide to hold it. Complicated, isn't it? Well, I can say he is complicated enough that I didn't know how to put into words whether I like him or not.
Anyway, the plot is beautifully written by Tabitha Peattie. The world-building is at a decent level meaning not much of action or adventurous things yet. Might be because it is the first book in the series. The first Ash Academy series is an introduction to us about the characters, the community, and people around them also their ability which you will be longing for more of this series. I know the ending isn't a cliff-hanging but you know, you want more because there will be more of the story and I want to know more how they handle their abilities, what can they do to the community and how will they make the community. The pace is a moderate level - not too fast and not to slow - which I can grasp all the story with enjoyment in reading it.
I enjoy Tainted Legacy and I cannot wait for the next series of Ash Academy. I suggest you reading the book as Tabitha Peattie's writing is definitely wonderful and the story in this first series is amazing enough.
