I absolutely loved the story & the characters are SO well written. The setting, atmosphere, characters and their relationships with each other - I loved it all. I did find the story a little slow at times (that's why only 4 stars). overall, i enjoyed reading the book!

Plot got too thin. Eventually it felt like just futzing around following the characters—and without the sense of progression from the plot, I got bored.

This book absolutely floored me. The story goes beyond words in many aspects, and represents one of the greatest descents into madness and true evil that I have ever read. I have never read a book about such miserable people doing such evil things that absolutely entranced me as much as this book does. I could not put this book down, despite its hefty page count and it’s occasional slow scenes. If you’re a fan of the dark academia aesthetic and of stories following mad, selfish, and evil people becoming more and more evil, I cannot emphasize enough how much this book is for you.
