Curious Tides is an excellent dark academia fantasy, with a well-built world, unique magic system, and secret society intrigue. I enjoyed the dual POV chapters, as well as the character development we see in Emory and Baz.
This book has some really pretty prose in it, although I did find sections that drawled on for a little too long. This is a slow-paced read, but once you get past the first few chapters, you find yourself entranced by the story and the characters!
