C'est un très bel univers mais la plume et le rythme me laissent perplexe !

Premièrement j'adore la magie et la complexité de celle-ci. L'univers est bien travaillé tout comme les personnages. J'ai adoré l'ambiance un peu "dark academia" grâce à la magie et le lieu autour de l'institut.

Toutefois, j'ai eu du mal avec l'intrigue : les questions que je me posais sont vite résolues le chapitre d'après. Ca donne un rythme très lent d'autant plus que certaines descriptions et pensées des personnages sont répétitifs parfois.

En bref : une bonne lecture mais je ne sais pas si je vais poursuivre !

Awesome premise, written in an interesting yet readable way, very immersive.

There was only one thing that really bothered me: how Emory treated/used Baz but that might be personal values.

I loved the concept of this book and could see the potential it had to be amazing. I didn’t feel any attachment to any characters which maybe made things not land well with me because I didn’t care what happened. I found it very predictable. I appreciated the non-binary representation. Overall meh.

Started off stronger than it ended. 
I wish there hand't been any romance since it wasn't that well done and with the way the "resolution" was, it felt pointless. 
Liked the world and the writing.
