Why oh why are the first 250 pages so dull and dragging and then once again, the last hundred odd pages actually a really good story (minus the random reina chapter just talking about how she's reading and she spoke to parisa).While I'm sure it's not, I pray that complex is better.

Did you read A Deadly Education and wish the characters were infinitely more unlikeable? Did you read The Magicians and wish there was zero atmosphere or world-building and the magic system was way more incomprehensible? This book is for you!

Also, skip the audiobook. Half the narrators are so bad it actually ruined my mood.

I liked this more than the first book! I know a lot of people didn't really care for it, but if you like character building more than overall plot, this could def be good for you. Yes, it was slow in plot progression, but I enjoyed all the messy interactions between all the characters. Honestly just a huge messy polycule with magic haha I really enjoyed Callum and Tristan in this. They became my faves out of the main 6 although I wish we got a little more clarity about their complex relationship and feelings towards each other. A lot happened between them off page that I wish we couldn't seen on page. I wish Reina was more engaging because I wanted to like her more than I did (she's an interesting character but compared to the others, she is a little lackluster. And it's not because she reads as someone who is aromantic/asexual or kind of monotone. I think she could've just been written better). I liked Libby's storyline overall but it seemed like it could've had a little bit more. I really enjoyed Parisa's time in Dalton's mind. Nico was probs the most annoying to me tbh out off the main six. I liked his relationship with Gideon and the time he spent with Tristan, but besides that I didn't care for him.
It does get a little confusing with all the povs and jumping back and forth in time.
I used the audiobook in conjunction with the physical book and like the first book, I think it would've been difficult to finish without the audio. I will read the next (with the assistance of audio) because I need to know what they all do!!

I was forced to listen to the book as I couldn’t find it in stock anywhere at a price I could afford and couldn’t get the text version from either of my Libby libraries without waiting 5 months. I got 80 pages in before each characters thoughts and feelings just stopped mattering. I realized as we sat in the same scene over a couple hours for 70-80 pages which was really still the same scene that the book started in, that I really just didn’t care anymore because I could tell that the book was just going to be internal dialogue after internal dialogue. The first book was fine with the amount that it had because we didn’t sit in the same scene for so long that it became monotonous but good god I was so ready to keep on with the cool stuff, the worldbuilding, the magic, not how much all the characters basically can’t stand each other and how everybody is pretty much beholden to the two characters who can read minds.

This is sadly a big shrug for me. It’s not that it was terrible, but it wasn’t good. It had so much potential with all the pieces and characters on the board but it didn’t amount to much. The voice actors in the audiobook were great, once again. But if I didn’t enjoy their voices in the background while doing chores I’m not sure I would have finished.
