dark mysterious

4.5

The pacing was a bit weird, especially at the end, and I would've loved to see more action after that first action scene in the beginning. Instead, there was mostly a lot of talking and thinking instead of doing tbh.
But apart from that I really enjoyed listening to this!! The audiobook and the different narrators are great, thanks to the voice actors! And I especially love Nico as a character, and his relationship to Gideon (which is probably meant to be a platonic, very deep friendship but tbh I do kind of ship it romantically).

I didn’t like this book as much as I wanted to. The concept is genius & Blake’s prose is incredible, but half the book got stuck in exposition - every chapter seemed to want to introduce some new concept of dilemma that needed so much explaining that it felt like nothing much happened at all until the end. 

Still good enough to want to see what happens next but all in all was a little long winded for me.

slow-paced

3.75

This took me way too long to find motivation to read it, and the only reason I finally did was because the audiobook was created and made available. The audiobook didn't perfectly sync with this version of the book but overall it was close enough. I did buy this book initially but I don't think I'll keep it, probably will donate it to a local library or put it in a little free library.
I think the beginning was overall sort of slow and eventually picked up as things really started to happen. For me, there was a bit that could've been cut to make the story move along faster. 
I like the characters a lot and generally like the premise. Probs one of my favorite dark academia books I've read so far (I've read a few and don't usually really like them that much with an exception or two). I will def continue the series because I'd like to know what happens to the characters. Honestly I don't think I would continue the series without audio assistance tho
