a few things off my head rn:

— interesting world building. i loved the concept of light versus dark, sun versus moon worshipper. i’m a moon child after all. 
— i liked the author’s writing style. kept me engaged. 
— the fmc is great although, she is seventeen so i didn’t understand some stupid shit that she did. 

for starter, hiding her knowledge about the key evidence because she wanted to protect magister thomas. i didn’t get it at all. wouldn’t it better to fess up early so he could be absolved of any wrongdoing? since she was so sure that he didn’t do it. i wish the story had properly established her relationship with magister thomas better because the whole time i couldn’t understand why she would go through all these hassles just to save him. we only got a one sentence explanation about how he was like a father to her but that’s it. idk. 

also for the love of god, how did this kid manage to get not one, but three men vying for her attention? simon i could understand because their relationship did progress properly. remi well he was her childhood friend but lambert??? freaking lambert?? that was so random and felt like it was shoehorned there to make catrin the centerpiece because she’s the fmc lol.
