A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik

I genuinely forgot I was reading this because I thought I finished it... This book is very good at what it's trying to do, but it didn't grab me, I don't think it's my taste. If you are really into the nitty gritty details of a magic system, then I recommend it. If you want to be swept away and deeply invested in the characters or plot, this is maybe not it. It feels a lot like an LitRPG with focus on the mechanics of learning and gaining skills. The world is also really great, I wanted even more of it. I won't continue the series, but I'm glad I finally read this

Shout out to the mc for being so oblivious to her own romance though, I don't even think she knows she's ace/aro, she's just so focused on school she doesn't care
