I think this book is a great introduction to dark academia style books, but it doesn’t compare to some of the well know books in this sub genre.

3.5 Stars...maaaaaybe bump to 4? Great writing. Great storyline, but just wasn't nearly as captivated as I thought I would be.

love the witchy aspects and the tarot tutorial but this is no epic fantasy dream so be warned cause the magic is pretty nuanced but the characters are very deep ... considering this is a first time author this book is well written but would have liked more magic in it

It took me AGES to finish this relatively short book. What’s worse is how badly I wanted to LOVE it. I didn’t. It dragged and dragged and went in circles. This book is recommended for lovers of Ninth House and I feel like it’s more for lovers of Verity. Same sort of feeling in the stomach at the end.

The summary was misleading because this was horribly boring.
