Plot twists from early in the story, a poetic prose that flows in a way that remains easy to read, and a feeling of satisfaction upon conclusion. This is definitely one of the best books I've read.

You had me at sapphic dark academia! This story reminded me a lot of White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi (whom is also referenced in this book). This book explored a lot (femininity, witchcraft, madness, class, queerness & conservativism) and I appreciated it. I ultimately felt less surprised by most of the twists & turns than I would have liked, but all the same, enthralling and hard to put down!
