I wasn’t sure going into it, since it’s been marketed as dark academia, and that’s not usually my jam, but I really liked it! It doesn’t give me those vibes at all. 
It’s very old Hollywood with a modern feel. Pure fantasy. In ways, it reminds me of the old movies my grandma would show me on TCM, with a bit of Twilight Zone mixed in for good measure. 
All around, liked it, and would love to see more from this universe!

A perfect book for fall… mindless, mysterious, a touch of noir, and no real stakes. Just what I needed right now.
