To quote Hadestown:
“It's a sad song
It's a sad tale, it's a tragedy
It's a sad song
But we sing it anyway”

This is a dark academia book. The dark doesn’t stand for aesthetics, it stands for death, always has. People die, people try and fail to cope with that however they can, *if* they can. Discussions of obsession, grief, and what those will drive people to do are explored in this book.c410berry's review against another edition

3.25
On the one hand, the book and it’s characters are engaging, intriguing, and very clever. On the other hand, some of the twists became fairly obvious, and I don’t know if everything about the book earned its final twist—which was a huge gut punch.
And really, speaking of the end and its twist,
I did like this book, though, even if I didn’t love the final execution. So the final 3.25 rating feels fair!
Moderate: Death and Blood
Minor: Suicide attempt and Suicide
