I really don't know how I feel about this book. It took me about 4 months to read and I don't think I enjoyed reading it but it definitely was... something? The story is interesting and the characters are interesting and the whole vibe? Also very interesting.

Too slow, story is almost identical to “If We Were Villians”, although that’s not the fault of this book, since it came before. I just happened to read the “copy” first.
But seriously, the first chapters be like:
“Character X was picking his nose. I didn’t know at the time, but this was going to be a horrible reveal later OooOoOoOo”. Don’t get me wrong, it is creating suspense, but it is about as subtle as crushing your car head-first into a concrete wall.

I do love this book but I can only give it a 3.5.
The good: dark academia, really good descriptions that makes you feel like you are there, the Greek language that provides different outlooks to things, knowing the "secret" by the prologue so you can focus on the details of the story itself. The ending is nice and wraps everything up well.
The bad: long chapters (559 pages, 8 chapters), so much unnecessary information and dialogue, like the part about the Arabs??? Why?? Most of chapter 8 is not at all useful to the story
