I almost put this book down when the beginning was slow but it really grew on me. I mean magic books! But also the characters and the mysteries were well done

This book starts off slow, but don’t let that stop you. I tore through the last half the fastest I’ve ever read. Some of my favorite parts are the flaws in characters’ logic and failures to recognize patterns that frustrated me, reminding me that the reader sees more than any individual character can. This book is an excellent mystery, and includes rosebuds of romance without sidelining the plot or causing a toothache, including a very realistic queer tirade. The world building in pieces and parts from different perspectives causes the start to seem slow, but many details of the build up get a later callback. I was especially taken by the descriptions of how spells physically impact the body of the reader, the writer, and the spelled. An absolute delight I will gladly recommend to all of my fantasy lovers.

Deaths are somewhat gruesome, but not in an excessive way. The queer storyline includes a sort of suspiciousness that is common in many relationships, not just where magic is concerned.

I loved this book. If blood makes you queasy then this one might be hard (it was sort of hard for me to get through those parts). But the bloody parts are more clinical than violent, so context helps. 

Beyond that content warning, I looooved this book. I immediately googled “does this book have a sequel?” because I just loved the characters so much and I want to continue to follow them. So far it is a standalone book (which is fine, there is no cliff hanger), but I hope the author writes more in this world. The magic system is very cool.

Fun and unique cast of characters with easy to understand magic. It wrapped up a bit quick, in my opinion, but was still satisfying. I really enjoyed this and would read more if the author writes them!

When I first started this book, I was put off by the writing style, but I’m glad I stuck with it. The writing style continued to be overwrought, but I got used it and was able to focus on the story.

This is a story with a lot of twists and turns, which did keep me turning pages, even if none of the twists were particularly surprising. This book felt a bit like a roller coaster in the sense that even if you know where it’s going, you’re still enjoying the ride. 

I’d most recommend this to people who like the idea of book magic, and want something that leans towards dark academia, but is still a popcorn read.
