But those gripes are minor and in general I loved the mood, setting, writing, moral flexibility, and disconnection from reality. It was a lot of fun to read!

Things don't really start piecing together until about 80% through so be patient. This book will have you second guessing yourself, then going back to your first conclusion, then think "naaah it's too easy". Ultimate gaslighting from the author, haha.
So good. Dark academia vibes and not for the faint of heart.
