Upřímně, stále váhám mezi 2* a 3*. Začátek mě chytl, ale pak mě to nebavilo. Felicity mi byla nesympatická, nežrala jsem její pohnutky, Ellis mi přišla od začátku trochu mimo, ostatní postavy tam zase byly moc málo. Dost to vytáhl konec - Felicity mi sice nesedla, ale právě u konce jsem ocenila její chování, díky němuž jsem absolutně neodhadla, k čemu se schyluje. Konec gradoval perfektně, tam mě to bavilo.

Vyprávění má temný ráz, to oceňuju. Ne jak zbytek... Strašně mě nakrklo zacházení s alkoholismem, easy přístup ke střílení po zvířatech a přístup k retrospektivám tak trochu nechápu doteď, jak se to obhajovalo a tak. Plno věcí tam prostě regulérně nedává smysl.

Originalita tam je, ale pro mě tam bylo až moc věcí, co mě strašně štvaly, a krom konce (který teda byl skvělý, to jo), mě to bohužel nebavilo.

This was a very easy read but I can’t explain why? It is definitely a YA novel. If you’re really into like dark academia type books this might be fore you. Just didn’t really understand the story. The last like two to three chapters were the best part purely because of the twist.

I went into this book expecting something else from its description, and got something else in return. I was pleasantly surprised. The prose is beautifully written. Lee's prose is both magical and dark, offering that feeling of being sucked in by Godwin House and Dalloway School all at once for the reader, too. The character of Felicity is complex and has the qualities of both a villain and a hero. It's a beautiful, gripping read about the dark feminine, the inherent complex and contrarian nature of humanity, female desire, and female power.
