Extremely interesting read. A metaphysical fever dream. It felt like some of the supporting characters (in my personal opinion Lisa in particular) could have been explored more, but I can also understand why the authors chose to focus on what happens inside Sasha primarily.

This was so odd and dark and unsettling and also gorgeous and powerful. Think dark academia but if the school was about metaphysics. If your favorite magic school was written by Kafka.
It took a little while to get into it and then I was hooked.
I think I'll need to reread.

Really a 3.5.
This book felt like a fever dream in the best way possible. I just really struggled to genuinely care about the characters. It was really fun though and I'd be down to read more.
