I have mixed feelings about Kidan. I found her self-righteous and hypocritical. She questions people’s choices, but I feel like she would make those same ones if she had to. She considered vampires evil, but she’s no better. 

I enjoyed:
✨Susenyos – Love him bad (though I don’t support all his wrongs).

✨This is true enemies-to-lovers! They really hate each other, so much so that maybe it could turn to passion? Love? 

✨The final lesson from the Dranacti class- It wrapped things up nicely, and I’m also looking at this university sideways.

✨The short chapters-

What I enjoyed less:
😕 Redacted (GK)

😕 The “prank wars”, although Kidan’s final move was iconic. 

😕The third person narration- Led to a feeling of being tricked vs. an undiscovered mystery. 

Half of twist at the end I saw coming, and the reveal makes the story even more tragic.

From this book, I learned about the harms of living for other people. That everyone has their reasons, and sometimes you’re not owed those reasons. Well-intentioned actions can still be flawed.
