was a bit slow getting into it, but once i reached about 3 quarters in, then it really did feel like i was fully engrossed in the story. after finishing, looking at the full story and progression, the world building and character interactions built so much depth and clarity that helped support an amazing finish

jessb915's review against another edition

I have been very into the dark academia trend and was excited for this book! Unfortunately, I had to dnf after a scene where a child is assaulted (see content warnings). It was a graphic description—unnecessarily so, in my opinion. I want to maybe give this book another chance, as so many people have gushed about it. I have heard there are other triggering events that might prevent me from returning to this one though. Just not for me.

Read your trigger warnings! ⚠️ 
First three quarters were disappointing, the ending is atrocious??? 
Sorry but ... Feels like a waste of time.

Exquisite. It’s sort of like if Harry Potter was written specifically for adults with a female protagonist. I never wanted it to end.
