I really enjoyed this. It is so nice to see a dark academia book told from the perspective of the teacher. You can tell Tesh spent many years in academia and anybody who has ever worked with teenagers or in a university for more than a couple years will really connect with aspects of this book.

The magic was interesting and the story keeps you engaged. So many big moments happen in the novel but I never felt it was too much. It did lose me a little bit at the end but I know why and have to go back and reread it. I can’t wait to mull this one over and reread it sometime soon!

This book is like your comfiest jammies on a Monday morning - delightful, well-made and warm, and you never want to leave them to put on real clothes.
