This book got so much hype but it really fell flat for me. I didn't really like the characters and the pace was inconsistent. The first part of the book was all exposition and didn't get good until the end. But you had to be paying attention to the first to understand the meaning in the end
I normally love dark academia, whixhbis why i thought id like this book but this was not dark academia. She spent 1 or 2 chapters at the school and the rest at the house falling into the sea.
