This fantasy book was a breath of fresh air! It was a unique storyline with detailed characters that I loved, even the villains were disgustingly cruel.
The school imparts magic to each person coming of age and trains them for five years. Our main character Rayna comes to the school with high hopes. From the first moment on, she is thrust into bad situation after bad situation with a few good moments sprinkled in to keep her hanging on.
That ending broke me and I am so hurried to read the next one! Which of course I will as soon as I can get my hands on it! I have to know what secrets are revealed and how Rayna makes it out of this mess!
No spoilers in this review but I would like to rage with someone who’s read it! There are so many great instances of injustice, I can barely keep my own blood from boiling!
This one was great and so far the best cliffhanger of the year for me!

I don't often write out reviews but I fell head over heels for this book and I feel like shouting about it from the rooftops.
I saw someone recommend this on bookstagram and I downloaded it from KU. I knew literally nothing about this book when I started it aside from the cover was beautiful and the bookstagrammer (I so wish I could remember who) said it was perfect. I intended to read just a few pages to get an idea for it but I was quickly hooked and a few pages became a few hours of reading.
I loved the characters, the magic system, the mystery that unfolds, and the secondary and minor characters. I LOVE the MMC and the banter between him and the FMC is fantastic.
There is one brief scene I think some would benefit from a content warning around, and I've mentioned that below.

Content Warnings
There is one brief, yet graphic, scene that gets mentioned twice. I'll keep it vague but some spoilers ahead: There is a brief scene depicting a false memory of a sexual assault between the main characters. This SA doesn't actually occur but is an image fed to another character to distract them. While a brief scene, the book does describe it with some potentially disturbing detail and it is referenced again later in the book, but without the detail.
