4.0

I enjoyed this more than I expected. I’m so tired of magic schools, and I think that the responsibility heaped on college freshmen is probably the weakest part of the book, but the characters and mystery manage to carry the story anyway. It’s much more horror than I was expecting, so be wary of that if you are easily creeped out, but overall a good book. I’m not sure I liked it enough to read the sequel, but I mostly enjoyed this one.

Brilliantly executed, wonderfully dark. Starts slow, but oh my gosh the twists had me reeling. Those last 100 pages or so were so captivating, i couldn’t put it down! I grew to love the characters and deeply feel for them. Leigh Bardugo has an excellent way of crafting complex, twisted protagonists who are certainly not good people (in any sense of the word) but are just so very human

(except when they’re not)
