I wouldn’t even really use the word ‘adult’ as the MC, while purportedly 16, often acts and regards the world more as a 12yr old. Or younger.

The world is dense with imagery and the frequent use of South African dialect or references was refreshing. It was, however, jarring to realize that while all these children had grown up in that world, they were just now - at *16* - being taught about magical creatures. That greatly increased the dissonance between their given age and how they acted, spoke, and viewed the world.
