I am apparently a sucker for books set in cold northeastern universities, with a dark or arcane academic magic system (trying to avoid using the oft-shamed dark academia), because this slapped.
I really thought I wasn't going to like the main character at first as an example of a "look at how badass I am" but honestly really ended up on her side. She's got specific and believable (also horrific) trauma and I think the impact on her personality rings true and makes her very interesting.
I am also a sucker for tall knowledgeable well-dressed dudes. This book was like fuckin catnip for me and I will be picking up the second one, fingers crossed
