Honestly, I feel like I shouldn't be giving this book 4 stars. Not a ton really happens in the book, its mostly just the characters talking and discussing various things. But for some reason, it worked for me. I genuinely enjoyed the 6 candidates and how different they were from each other, and the internal and external banter that arose from that. The way magic works was really fun to me, and I dunno, it was just a right time right place kind of book.

I don't know if I could wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone though, because I have a strong feeling this isn't gonna work for a lot of people. But if you like it when characters just talk for forever, you'll probably like it (lol)!

I wanted to come back to this book to review because why not and maybe I will do more reviews like this, probably not though.

The characters are all pretentious assholes, there I said it, but they all have their flaws and things that make you like them a little bit at least.

Though I did expect everyone to kiss in this book or be a thing, I was like these two should date, not these two. but whoever gets with who I am just having a good time that is for sure.

I resonated with Libby more than I thought I would, but her anxiety really came through and her just asking all the questions to be absolutely sure of something, that is me all over.

The only character that I ever had trouble liking out of the main 6 was Callum and I am hoping for that to change in the second book because there is definitely more to him than we get to see. But if not oh well I will continue to root for the others over him. no biggie.

Give me fantasy elements, dark academia and asshole characters that have to interact, and I am probably gonna have a great time!! I am excited to see where this series will take us too next

Very interesting read. I wish they made more clear lines on the romance between characters, I’m very confused.
