I didn't love this book as much as I thought I would but I believe I am partly to blame for I had NO IDEA that there was magic in the book. I thought it was a down-to-Earth, whodunit dark academia book, fully my fault.
I overall had a nice time reading the book, although switching between autumn and winter sort of confused me from time to time. I especially liked Darlington and Dawes's characters, while I struggled being attached to Alex.
Most of the plot twists landed well, I was invested in the story. I'd say it simply went downhill from the last plot twist to the ending of the book which I am really not a fan of. That being said, I am going to read the sequel (as I said, I love Darlington and Dawes.)
If I had to summarise this book, I'd say it's a slight deception, but still an enjoyable book to read.
