The magic mechanism, in my opinion, could do with a little more TLC but the rest of the writing carries it nicely otherwise.
Looking forward to reading the next in the series.

Although it was a bit of a slog to begin with, the conclusion to the book definitely left nothing to be desired and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think it's overall done a good job of setting up the world and the sequel should (hopefully) have much better pacing.
Graphic: Suicide, Violence, Kidnapping, Murder, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Sexual content

I think the beginning was overall sort of slow and eventually picked up as things really started to happen. For me, there was a bit that could've been cut to make the story move along faster.
I like the characters a lot and generally like the premise. Probs one of my favorite dark academia books I've read so far (I've read a few and don't usually really like them that much with an exception or two). I will def continue the series because I'd like to know what happens to the characters. Honestly I don't think I would continue the series without audio assistance tho

I put all the triggers I remembered in "moderate", though some would definitely be better described as "minor" or "graphic".
