I thought this book was fun! Fresh story in a market crowded with dark academia content. I would have preferred less emphasis on Alex's past, and more details about the eight houses, but that's just me. Worth a read if you're looking for an elevated adult fantasy that is still rooted in reality, the occult, and myth.
