3.0

Honestly I have no idea what this was.  It had good fantasy vibes creating an almost cozy atmosphere in the boarding school.  But the plot just kinda fell flat along with the characters.  The ending felt rushed and I wish there was more of a determined ending.  But the queer rep in this book was amazing and comforting.

Favorite Quote: ❝ For us, places we went were home. We didn't care if they were good or evil or neutral or what. We cared about the fact that for the first time, we didn't have to pretend to be something we weren't. We just got to be. That made all the difference in the world. ❞
