Started out a bit slow and confusing, but by the end I was hooked. It did get a little “villain gives a big speech revealing everything” but overall I didn’t mind that too much. I definitely appreciated (and remembered) it way more upon rereading. Note to self: this is not a good series to read while sleep deprived and traveling.

Critical Score: 4
Fun score: 4

too gruesome for me. and just because something is dark academia does not mean it’s “like the secret history”

edit: wait read this it’s much more articulate than i could hope to be about a book that didn’t do much for me https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2492981005
