Meandering, plotless and shockingly dull. A shame as I loved The Power and Disobedience.
Warning:
I had to partially skip a chapter near the end due to a scene of graphic self harm.

This is such a good dark academia book - a bitesize secret history but English. I find the relationships between the characters so fascinating for characters that we don’t actually learn a lot about, and I find the themes of independence, love, manipulation and money really interesting. Love this book.
