Dark academia meets magic meets absurdism. It more flirts with the ideas of dark academia, and I’m again disappointed that the book isn’t as absurd as I had hoped. 

I enjoyed that the book focuses heavily on the psychology of the MC, and doesn’t sanitize the MC as a particularly likable person even when she’s an interesting character. 

Prior to reading this I expected the book to be much more absurd, with a more subtle subplot that revealed itself at the end with many different interpretations. I personally feel that the reveal at the end was pretty clear at the end of the first part. I feel like it was a bit of false advertisement there, because it was much more linear and clear than expected.
