This book has a way of keeping such a steady pace through the whole story that unsettled me at certain parts. In the best way.
I worried that the length would exhaust me, but the book doesn't feel as plot dense as it looks. I don't feel exhausted and never did at any point. More intrigued and compelled to continue.
Would recommend for the dark academia, creepy vibe. I totally fell into the madness with the characters and I hope you do too.
