This is not a book one should go into blindly. It is rough, and terrible. Well written, but heartbreaking in a way I have not experienced in a book before this.
I cannot stress it enough, read the trigger warnings before reading this, and prepare for the unfiltered horrors of war.

Hated the first half. I don't like academy/school fiction. This book had most of the tropes (plain girl good at everything, abusive curriculum, shitty teachers, two gorgeous boys (a rich Malfoy and a dark stranger)—thank goodness there was no romance, goofy best guy friend, etc).

Which. My goodness, the whiplash.

I'll get to the sequel eventually. Maybe.
