This was a pretty surprising read. I would say it starts with fantasy, then adds in some dark academia and towards the ends becomes a bit of a thriller. I did not expect that. It was also a quick read and well written. 

It gives you a lot to think about, which can be nice.

The first 5 pages were a sludge to get through but after that I was hooked. The mc was such a pleasant character. I loved hearing his thoughts, which is surprising because I usually prefer 3rd person Povs.
