kimu23 's review for:

The Grimoire of Grave Fates by Hanna Alkaf, Margaret Owen
2.0
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

I feel bad for giving it such a low stars but this is a prove that being overambitious is not good for you.

18 characters with only one POV each... How is it possible for somebody to even think this is a good idea?? I spent more time trying to remember who is who than enjoying the mystery or the characters. This would be so much better if it was a collections of short stories in the same magical school setting than 18 characters in one murder mystery.

It really is too bad because I like the idea and was looking forward to this but the execution is bad.
