This book has been on my TBR since it came out, even before I read the Six of Crows duology and the Shadow and Bone trilogy and it received TREMENDOUS amounts of hype, so I had (fairly) high expectations for this book
In itself the concept and premise of it seemed a great idea to me: a "magical underworld" in Yale with secret societies, the place of magic with privilege, wealth, class, race
but EVERY deeper topic was only brushed over and even the presence of rape too???
when the main character is a poor female PoC and the literal overall villains rich white men abusing magic (and everything else) and the cause of all the problems a white woman from the 1800s???
you see the very little insistence on race and gender and wealth but somehow it ends up being like this?
I feel like I cannot really find what I have to say with this point, but you just bore with me while reading all of this: me trying to make a point without really knowing what to say
I think I also have problems with this book's pace which is, shortly said, truly inconsistent and hard to get into... until almost the end
in conclusion, I'm honestly disappointed, because I expected way more, but I still want to read the next one to see if it's going to be as bad as this one

The ending came out of nowhere with little to no setup for the reveals. As a mystery novel, this is terrible.
