The main character was so stupid it was honestly upsetting. Really all the characters were so half baked it made no sense

Doesn't really get going until the end...finished because it was for Book Club. If you are a fan of Dark Academia, you may enjoy it more than I did.

The plot is decently interesting but the book is so poorly written that it’s not worth it at all. The dialogue is flat and unrealistic, there is no character development, and most of the actions from the characters make no sense.

The characters seemed flat and unengaging; the writing is basic.

The plot was good but I did not like a single character in this book. It is hard to like a book with no one to root for.
