the world building and magic has potential but the writing/dialogue is not living up to it and the bullying is so much

A veces es difícil de entender que cuando uno ya no es adolescente es mucho más difícil poder escribir sobre ellos y este libro es la prueba.

2014 wattpad vibes. The main characters are the most special girls in the whole wide world, and all of the men they interact with need to be put on a list somewhere.  A much more entertaining read when it’s not taken seriously

The book focuses heavily on non-consensual acts that, while not explicitly sexual, still have sexual connotations. These things are considered not only acceptable within the context of the story, but also “exciting” to the POV characters

It was a nice and quick read that I did enjoy. I do think it started a little fast and there wasn’t a ton of buildup to the school. 

The main characters are lovable, but they need to stop being as gullible. That made parts of it hard to get through. Overall, a fun read and the ending murder did surprise me.
