thoughts (i’m too lazy to make them comprehensive):
- specific type of quick read, romance tropes and characterization that feels very booktok to me
- reminds me of babel if babel had a lot less to say but wanted you to think it’s saying a lot more, pseudo intellectual
- once i got into it was pretty quick and engaging
- am interested by the twist villain but kind of hate it and wish there hadn’t been a major twist in the last twenty pages
listened to 20% as audiobook in april 2023, restarted as book in jan 2024 and finished

Instead of a magician royale we are entreated to tedious science lectures and cringe sex scenes

i don’t think dark academia is for me cause why are you trying to act smarter than me. and why are all the characters so shallow and BORING.
