It took me AGES to finish this relatively short book. Whatâs worse is how badly I wanted to LOVE it. I didnât. It dragged and dragged and went in circles. This book is recommended for lovers of Ninth House and I feel like itâs more for lovers of Verity. Same sort of feeling in the stomach at the end.
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.
I really wanted to love this book. Coming from an Art History and Museum background I was hooked immediately but unfortunately, at least for me, I felt like for 75% of the book I was waiting for something to happen and then when it did I was like, "Meh, not surprised." I felt like the description of the setting was wonderful but the overall story and character development fell short. Perhaps you will love it though!
loved this book. The vibes, the descriptions, and the ending :) As a museum educator, I fell right into this world
