the book is pretty slow to start since there’s a lot of world building that has to be done. but toward the middle i understood what we were working with and i find her detail to be very impressive. i really like the main character and how flawed she is. i wish there was more of darlington but it sounds like ill get that in the sequel. solid spooky fantasy!

an interesting addition to the "dark academia" genre -- it consistently had a mysterious vibe that kept me on my toes and while i was able to predict some elements of the plot, others kept me entirely in the dark. i would've liked to have been able to draw conclusions that didn't kind of come out of nowhere like some did -- but i still enjoyed the reading experience overall! i'll definitely be picking up the sequel next!
