Chris Shabsin @c.shabsin.com · 06/09/2026The thing that's missing over there is the part that's targeted younger. Spreading the books we won't read anymore over 7 school years and having the age range of the books scale over time was a great move. The first scholomance book isn't quite fodder for a 9-year old. 220
