3.5 ⭐️ This book definitely got me in the mood for some ~fall vibes~ it had ghosty, dark magic, murder-mystery vibes. The characters and world were interesting and unique, and the plot was fun. My biggest issue was with the back and forth between past and present and the fact that the story starts with our main character fully submerged in a world where everything needs to be explained (different houses, rules, regulations, roles, rituals, blah, blah)- it was a bit fatiguing/confusing at times. A bit of romance would have also bumped it up half a star, but maybe that’s just me.

After reading most of the grishaverse novels I was starting to get tired of Bardugo's writing. But this book completely turned it around. I really enjoyed the pacing. I was constantly engaged and found it hard to put the book down. And despite being largely plot driven I found the characters to be surprisingly well developed.
