This book is hella atmospheric. Love the 1920’s inspired setting and really enjoyed all the political machinations going on in this book. The magic and policing of magic, in combination with the girls from different classes gave this book plenty to discuss in terms of themes carried over into the real world. 
Unfortunately the pacing wasn’t my favourite and I definitely found myself tuning in and out throughout the book. Some of the relationships between the characters also felt a bit forced to me too. BUT!!! Pining sapphics? Yes please, gimme more of that. 
Anyways if it sounds intriguing to you defs pick it up, I think despite its issues I’m really glad I read it.
