This was a good book. Different take on the dark academia. The MMC is giving me whiplash.

There are so many half-baked and unfinished ideas in this, why isn't her fae power ever mentioned? Why does she not try to get it back?

In an age of romantasy, this does not stand out

This really gave me Hermione/Draco vibes but set in an alternate dragon/vampire universe. If you don’t like academy/trial tropes it isn’t for you. This is my first “bully” read but it seemed fairly mild so I could tolerate it. That and the FMC is a bad ass, doesn’t take their shit type so it’s much easier to tolerate! Medra Pendragon is an excellent FMC to me; loyal and loving to her friends. It’s a breath of fresh air to have a more realistic “weaker” FMC where things don’t always come easily to her but she still doesn’t give up. Not much happens in this book, a lot more lore and plot build up. But I still really enjoyed it and couldn’t seem to put it down!

2.5 rounded up. Confused but intrigued. 

The um, voice in her head..fkn bizarre. 🔪 

Where the hell did this bitch come from? Why don’t we know fuck-all from her actual life? One far royal dumped into a vampy school? The fuck? 🤷🏼‍♀️ 

I struggled to get into this because it started off confusing. And maybe that’s the point because she’s just as confused. However, are we not at all interested in trying to go home? Do we care about home? 🏠 

Do I want to continue? 🤔 I haven’t decided. Mister mans pissed me right off at the end and I’m mildly curious how we move past that. 

I either tuned out during important shit 🎧 or this plot holier than Swiss cheese 🧀

Feels like other vampire academy books and it is a very slow burn but interesting enough to continue to the next one.
