I wanted to come back to this book to review because why not and maybe I will do more reviews like this, probably not though.
The characters are all pretentious assholes, there I said it, but they all have their flaws and things that make you like them a little bit at least.
Though I did expect everyone to kiss in this book or be a thing, I was like these two should date, not these two. but whoever gets with who I am just having a good time that is for sure.
I resonated with Libby more than I thought I would, but her anxiety really came through and her just asking all the questions to be absolutely sure of something, that is me all over.
The only character that I ever had trouble liking out of the main 6 was Callum and I am hoping for that to change in the second book because there is definitely more to him than we get to see. But if not oh well I will continue to root for the others over him. no biggie.
Give me fantasy elements, dark academia and asshole characters that have to interact, and I am probably gonna have a great time!! I am excited to see where this series will take us too next

The magic is vague, which I was totally fine with. But the plot is also very vague, and I didn't care. And the characters are also vague most of the time. What they think, what their intentions are. And some of them are truly annoying. But I still loved all of them in the end, even the one's that I disliked?
I just really really enjoyed the character dynamics and their interactions. It was just a lot of fun. And it was enough to make me fly through the book. I couldn't put it down. The narrative structure, the dialogues, all the vague mysteries made the pacing work really well for me.
I have to say that I read the e-book while listening to the audiobook, and I think the narrators are fantastic. I very much enjoyed listening to the different point of views, and it was easier to ignore some of the more pretentious lines and dialogues this way.
I'm happy I don't need to wait for the sequel all too long now.
