The scene when El realises how enclaves are build... I got nauseous while reading and it still terrifies me to my very core (good!)
I also enjoyed the casual queer rep but the rest was pretty slow and sometimes even dragging... oh well.

This one is better, by virtue of being outside the Scholomance, so the descriptions are much better and more interesting. I do hate Novik’s habit of getting to a very exciting part and then spending the next 6 pages with El’s inner realizations and monologue. They’re just very misplaced as is.
Perfect ending. Everything made sense and clicked into place. That feeling when you put down a book like totally satisfied.

3.5? The book is so long, but some parts felt a little rushed — ending felt a little too neatly tied. Also was not fond of the threesome(?) / cheating (but not really?) plotlines, felt a little thrown in there and could’ve worked if the emotional parts were further explored.
