i thought this was a fantasy but there was literally no magic in here.  the world building is excellent, the characters are 3 dimensional and really well written. not much happened in this book but I'm intrigued enough to complete this series.

A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik
Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.

i could not get into this book, the writing style is infuriating. and the plot is basically non existent. if the writing style wasnt so info dumpy i would've actually finished this book regardless of the plot

this book was definitely more of a thriller than a mystery and literally how did pip not guess the dt killer after reading andie's email that was so nonsensical.

also i haaated that breakup scene btw it didnt even make sense really and it just pissed me off i would've given this 4 stars if that didn't happen
