I cant read past the first 30% of the book bcs I found it flat and a bit boring. But I insisted on giving this book a second chance bcs I get the feeling that this is not the kind of story I'd want to miss. and I'm not regretting it. I listened to its audiobook and it's world changing. Each character has diff voices and things get interesting quickly. The plot flew effortlessly.

Adult dark academia fantasy about six 'powerful' medeians who were invited to the long lost Alexandrian Library to be initiated as a part of the Society. 6 in, but 5 survived. Well... intriguing.

It didnt have much action in it. The power of each were explained clearly, more physics than 'magical'. If you wish them to spell from the wand, or able to control water, or things like that, then this book isnt for you.

Reverse found family trope, they were all pretentious and mistrust each other. Each of them were lethal. When I think Reina as the mother earth is powerful, then there's Callum who were able to broke someone without liftinf a finger. Not to mention Nicco and Libby, altering the universe itself. The scheme of Parisa... her mind game is something else. then there's Tristan who I think would be the key to the sequel. Their depths, backgrounds, and developments are chef's kiss.

The relationship happened were tangled, complicated, and uneasy.

I will not claim that I understand all those theories about time, intent, dearh, etc etc, but I do love their banters. I treasure the conversation they have with each other. I do love flowery writing after all. Some ppl might find it invoking vomit😂 especially Callum's pov.

For me, the characters were not lovable, but they stay in my head long after I finished reading. They intrigued me much and I kinda want to see more of them. How would they strive and survive.

Im not sure about the ending. Found it creepy tbh wkekwk

But well I'll be waiting for the next title✨️
