I never expected some of the turns this book took. Every time I thought I knew what was going on or where the events would lead next, I was wrong, there were more layers. Honestly, I loved every minute of it! This is what I expect when I read a dark academia. It was the perfect combination of dark, magic, suspense and mystery. My one complaint is the timeline jumping; it felt a bit disruptive, but maybe that was the point. I can’t wait to start Hell Bent!
