Wow. This was my first Leigh Bardugo book but if it‘s anything to go by it will not be my last.
The writing reminded me a lot of a TV show because there were so many crazy twists and reveals, and that just kept me glued to the pages. I thought the different timelines worked so well to reveal more and more information. Also: what a fantastic first sentence.
I loved flawed, strong, sharp Alex as the FMC and her journey. I expected the book to be a bit more dark academia but really enjoyed the magical murder mystery (gotta love good alliterations) focus of it. Highly recommend, just check TW beforehand
