If you enjoy magical, dark academia like Atlas Six, you’ll enjoy this one, aimed at a YA audience. That doesn’t mean the themes aren’t dark — what do you do when your school is constantly trying to kill you? But the cast is lovable, and the book keeps you guessing, a great pick for the darker seasons.
