I really tried to push through this book but ultimately I found the chapters so long winded and boring.

The characters are very pretentious which is clearly very intentional but made them very difficult to read about especially when all their mannerisms felt identical to one another. 

Whilst the writing does capture the dark academia atmosphere very well, I felt like for every 15 pages there was 1 tidbit which moved the plot along…which left me feeling bored. 

After 200 pages and still not being invested in the plot or characters - safe so say this is not the book for me.
