wow that was just ... not good
everything of the book - from the characters to the plot - was unoriginal.
our main characters only have two characteristics that make them these characters and the development throughout the book is just non-existant. i get it, lottie is naive and ellie is badass. there's nothing more to them. jamie apparently needed a sad background and why do all of these names end with -ie, what the hell is that all about.
the writing style was just bad bad bad
i still don't know what the characters look like or the rosewood hall
why is the boarding school a weird copy of hogwarts and what was the point of binah's puzzle, it's never mentioned again (not that i was interested in it, but some kind of closure on that would've been nice)
the ending? i honestly laughed out loud because it sounded so much like a bad murder mystery film and it was just stupid. the villain had no clear motive and her plan was also really weird and bad and no wonder it didn't work out
and our dear friend edmund? what was that about? lottie, how stupid can you actually be?
idk it just really wasn't good
and whoever thinks this is ya: you're wrong, this is clearly middle grade
and whoever thinks this is fantasy? why
i'm just really angry about it
ellie's and lottie's friendship was also weird. there is clearly more going on between them, but the possibility was never even addressed even though there were clearly scenes where some thoughts or questions about their behavior towards each other could've been raised
the only thing i like about this book is jamie and even he was kind of destroyed for me in the end
i'm happy to leave this book behind me and never think of it again
