Thanks to netgalley for the digital copy!

I picked up this book because it reminded me of the videogame Rule of Rose (which I Love) and those are exactly the vibes I got from this—at least the first part. The second part felt more like an afterthought and didn't feel as polished or integrated into the plot, and I'll admit did put me off reading for a bit. 

The writing, while rich in description, felt a bit repetitive and sometimes confusing with the sequence of names and actions. I could tell all the girls apart though and even grew fond of them l, so I think it was more a matter of execution and editing than anything else.

This could have used a few revisions to polish it up and really bring forth its themes and motivations because it's a good premise that I desperately need to see more of in fiction.
