In my opinion, the second half was much better then the first one. I fell in love with the characters in the second half; Darlington, North, Alex, Dawes. Can’t wait to see them in Hell Bent.
The pacing was a bit slow at first so be warned that for the first like 150-200 pages, it’s slow
I also didn’t have a problem with her writing here as I did with her ya series (shadow and bone and Six of Crows)

Storywise I quite liked the book. I enjoyed the murder mystery, the supernatural elements and the magic system in use. It also felt quite culturally relevant with some obvious criticism of the rich kids being able to get away with anything.

Honestly this is exactly what would happen if you let a bunch of rich brats have magic and it was nice to watch a scrappy street kid tear them down.
