Ta6 was my first dark-academia read (having still not finished A Secret History). Incredibly enjoyable and intriguing at first, the novel is however much too long for a plot that barely unfolds.

By the end of it, I genuinely stopped wondering who would die/ be killed and started wondering if Blake would do everyone a favour and kill all of them in one fell swoop of a magical tragedy. Except for Libby of course, she deserves to go off and live a cottage-core lifestyle and bring her dead sister back to life.
