Enigma by RuNyx
2.0

DNF @ 65%

I think this is on me. I tried, and honestly, I just couldn't do it.
The first 20-30% was fantastic, which is why I am giving it two stars. I want, WANT to love this book. It fell so flat.

The intrigue was there, but it quickly became a chaotic mess. I love dark academia settings, and that was perfect, but the lack of chemistry, well-rounded plot, and messy pacing ruined this for me. The mystery/thrilled aspect is what got my attention in the beginning and I was really, really hoping that would continue. At times it felt repetitive, that or it was guessable.

This was my first RuNyx novel, so I may give another one a try at some point in the future.
