Buyer beware, if you want a hero and a villian this book will not deliver. I felt challenged by this book, but in an excellent way. Why should one person win at the end of a novel? Sometimes things are messier than that. I loved how this book is steeped in dark academia and the MC is overtly lesbian in a rarely depicted way. Sometimes the dark vibes skew dramatic and it becomes a bit over the top, but it's a great novel and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
