A veces es difícil de entender que cuando uno ya no es adolescente es mucho más difícil poder escribir sobre ellos y este libro es la prueba.

It was a nice and quick read that I did enjoy. I do think it started a little fast and there wasn’t a ton of buildup to the school. 

The main characters are lovable, but they need to stop being as gullible. That made parts of it hard to get through. Overall, a fun read and the ending murder did surprise me.

Dual POV of fiery lost-heir twin Latinx FMCs. Seamless world building. Fun magic system and secondary and tertiary characters. Great banter. A bit of spice. Dark academia vibes. Check the full trigger warnings - lots of bullying, abandonment, etc. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/🌶️🌶️

Honestly the writing isn’t Shakespeare but man was I invested. Those boys are so infuriating ahhh. I can’t wait to see these girls rise because I can see the fight in them and although I feel bad for what happened I know they’ll kick ass because they’re already badass.

I enjoyed the world building very much. I wish it focused more on the fantasy elements outside of just supernatural races. I wouldn't say this book is much of a romance even though it describes itself as a bullymance. Maybe later in the series, but this first one in particular barely has any outside of a little flirting (in between all of the sexual assaults)

Mind control is prevalent in this book, meaning sometimes characters are forced to do things they don't want to do.
