It was a really compelling story where I never really knew how it would end. However, I didn't always buy the characters or their actions. I wish there had been more time given to flushing out their relationships (part of the lack seems to have been intentional to add to the air of mystery, but sometimes that made the reveals feel underwhelming or undeserved). A neat aesthetic trek into dark academia, but with all its flaws too (whiteness, elitism, wealth).

i enjoyed this but found it a little bit of a struggle nearer the end. after the first 50 pages the pace picks up and the mystery unravels with brilliant timing. then i found myself not enjoying it quite as much after the funeral. i can't place my finger on it. maybe the ending of the main book, maybe the ending of the epilogue. despite this i'd recommend reading as the mystery as a whole is worth it.
TW for a tiny bit of explicit homophobia, with a homophobic slur, and anti-semitism.
