the plot felt a little predictable at times? but i was reading for the spooky dark academia vibes and not the most complicated murder mystery plot in the whole world. i've heard people say they didn't really love the ending or how open it was, but i liked it and thought it was pretty clear what happened.
anyway what a good spooky read. the vibes were immaculate, the mystery was fun, the characters felt like they had their own personalities and goals. the writing style was really unique, especially in that the dialogue between characters speaking back and forth didn't use dialogue tags but sometimes was just written like a script would be. my favorite line was probably "Me: [sneezes]" lmfao.

To quote Hadestown:
“It's a sad song
It's a sad tale, it's a tragedy
It's a sad song
But we sing it anyway”

This is a dark academia book. The dark doesn’t stand for aesthetics, it stands for death, always has. People die, people try and fail to cope with that however they can, *if* they can. Discussions of obsession, grief, and what those will drive people to do are explored in this book.c410berry's review against another edition
