this book wholeheartedly made me understand all of the insane hype and excitement around dark academia. i enjoyed the subtle thread of romance but i loved the female friendship that powered the whole story. there were some problematic aspects of the writing - all revolving around race and representation but my hopes weren’t very high for a white woman writing a POC character. however the mythology, world building and fantasy elements are so cleverly woven together. the secrecy of ivy leagues and their secret societies almost makes it completely plausible that they are hiding centuries of magic behind glorified boys clubs. the interpolation between white rich men getting away with crimes a young brown girl would have been destroyed for is amazing. i cannot wait to read the next book.
