What a strong debut novel! There were times when it felt like Harry Potter but dark and with a bigger sprinkle of romance throughout. Especially reminiscent of the Goblet of Fire book. I actually liked the high number of POVs it made you care a little more about each character, well at least about what little we info we had on them. The world felt like it needed more fleshing out as it was a little all over the place without giving the reader any information. I am not usually one to say this but it may have needed some better surprise deaths. Very much still looking forward to the next book!
I really only cared about Wren and August. I don’t think I’ll remember all the details when the second book comes out. But I did enjoy it, I always like a school vibe

The Decennial doesn’t choose the best—it chooses the last one standing.
What an enchantingly gut punching read!This story absolutely just swept me away. This was such a magical, bittersweet story full of love, loss, and a beautifully complex cast who must decide who they’ll become in eternity. The school system was so unique, the magic so atmospheric, but it was the characters—their relationships tangled with loyalty, betrayal, and unspoken love—that absolutely stole the show. Six POVs and I adored every single one of them!

This plot had a premise that is silly, as many do, but it was far from engaging or well written enough to distract from that. Why in the world would only 16-18 year olds die and be condemned to going to school?? I am wholly shocked that this book has nearly 4 stars as the writing was lacking, the multiple POVs jarring in the beginning, and just overall it was not at all as interesting as it seemed to think it was.
