The premise was interesting! A YA dark academia set in purgatory with rivalries and the Decennial, a high-stakes competition every 10 years? Count me in.
What I enjoyed: interesting magic system, decent world building, a competition with trials, the academic rivalries
What I didn’t enjoy as much: the characters felt more juvenile in terms of action and thoughts (to be fair, they are teenagers), too many secrets/not enough communication, too many POVs
I typically don’t mind multi-POV books but I wish we had fewer ones in this book so we could have spent more time with each character and developed them more. The ending was fast paced and ended on a cliffhanger. I’m curious to see how the series will continue!

Thank you to I.V. Marie and HarperCollins UK Audio / Electric Monkey for giving me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.
Immortal Consequences was one of my most anticipated reads this year, and oh my GOD, it did not disappoint. For a debut, this is an absolute powerhouse! A complex, layered plot that keeps you hooked, and a cast so vividly drawn and larger-than-life you can’t help but be obsessed. Every twist, every interaction crackles with intensity. This isn’t just a story you read, it’s one you devour, breathe in, and get totally lost in. I’m still reeling from how good this was.
Graphic: Death, Gore, Sexual content, Torture, Violence
Moderate: Blood
Minor: Alcohol
The story blends intense supernatural drama with deeply personal character arcs, offering both high-octane action and moments of emotional depth
