I read this entire book in one sitting and now have to see if the physical copies are available at any of the libraries because there's a months long list for the next on in Libby.

A bit less dark academia than I was expecting. The world building is a bit confusing, you kind of just have to go with it. Since it's a series, I hope that a lot of things will be much more fleshed out and deepened in the subsequent books. I really loved the MC's mom ~haha. There's a bit of dry humor throughout. Minor romance subplot. I will be continuing the series, but I am expecting a lot now from the next books.

Orion and Galadriel officially hold my whole heart. Their names are so well thought I love it. The whole concept of The Scholomance is so well thought and I like the way it connects with the scholomance folk tale. 
I’m a bit disappointed because it took me quite a while to realise that this book’s part of a series (that’s my fault honestly) and I refuse to read the second book until the third one is out.
