I am conflicted about this book. There were parts that were pretentious and bit muddled but I do think that’s intentional. The characters, while mainly unlikeable, did grow on me. Sometimes their dynamics with each other didn’t make a lot of sense to me - it felt like I was missing something. The magic didn’t quite make sense and for a dark academia about magic I was expecting it to be a bit more detailed than it was. But ultimately I’m intrigued enough to continue and my rating of this may change over time.
