This book was a lot at the beginning. It hit the gas pedal and never let go, so it took me a hot second to grasp what all was happening. Once I caught up, I was in love with the storytelling and character building. The magic system with the zodiac elements was fun, even though it did feel a tad "Avatar" at times. I enjoyed the dark academia vibes. It's definitely a good read. Warning, bring lots of tissues.
