You know that feeling when in class a professor was explaining something, and you really wanted to understand, but you just felt they were speaking a different language? That was my reading experience with this book.
In a world where magic exists we have a secret society in a dark academia setting where we get six individuals with outstanding abilities that are chosen to form part of this organization, and after a year one would have to be eliminated and the other five may continue to get access to great knowledge and prestige.
My main problem was the lack of a feeling of solidity with the world and magic system with this I don't mean that you have to explain everything from the start, but you got to give a bare minimum for me to get some footing on the world a thing that I didn't feel at all throughout this book.
What I did enjoy are the unlikable characters that we are presented with, which are all backstabbing and playing dirty to get into the final five; add on that some of them have some juicy secrets and ulterior motives and you get something to keep me reading to the end.
Did I think the end was worth pushing through ? ehh ...not much
Will I continue with the series? I don't think so.
Maybe if you are looking more into getting just the vibes of a dark academic setting in a forgotten library with people that got magic abilities, this book will work for you if you don't mind the cons I mentioned before.
