I don’t tend towards this genre and I didn’t love the writing style in general, but the plot really kept me going with this one. Once the world building was done I was really drawn into it and couldn’t put it down… I had to know what happens next. The setting at Cambridge and all the Greek tragedy references gave it a kind of dark academia vibe which I really like. Biggest reason for stars off was just the style of writing which wasn’t bad, just not for me
