It's such a painful read. I felt like my heart was stabbed again and again but in the end it was stitched back together. I loved the writing, it was beautifully human, dark but hopeful.

It was kinda all over the place but I enjoyed the romance it was cute! I'm so glad I gave the author another chance, this was much better than I expected! The pacing needs a little work but it was a very fun read!

It was a good time! The dark academia vibes were immaculate. Very atmospheric, creepy and gory sometimes. The plot and mystery were solid, nothing groundbreaking. The romance was hot! Loved that the FMC was 20 and not younger and that she was smart and had some spunk in her. I laughed out loud at the epilogue 😂

I love this!!! It was so much fun!!! It's dark, gory and absolutely hilariously sarcastic!!! Alexis is so relatable! The world building and plot are ok but the characters and humour really carry this book. Loved the dark romance elements of it. Reads a little fanfiction-y sometimes. The audiobook is excellent, I loved the narrator! Edit: I saw that many people didn't like this cause the myths are all over the place and Greek mythology is borrowed very inaccurately. As a born and raised in Greece, Greek person with a pretty decent grasp in ancient mythology I'll tell you that I truly didn't mind it. Don't read this expecting a retelling. This is purely a dystopian fantasy with dark romance. The setting is completely inaccurate but it's all in good fun!

It's authentic, introspective andessy like life often is. The romance is hot, the MMC is a true lover boy, the stakes are high. This is a more unconventional love triangle, truly between friends and lovers. The mental health/depression rep is excellent! Jo is everything! Beautiful, smart, accomplished and highly complicated. I loved her as an FMC. The writing is solid! I'm truly surprised this book isn't more highly rated for me it's a 10/10!

It was cute I enjoyed it but I found the beginning a little too slow. I enjoyed the last 25% where the plot picks up pace a lot more.

Definitely a slower paced book than the previous two. Although I'm not a huge fan o multiple POVs this was well written and it make sense as to why it was structured this way, but I hope the next book is only Bree's POV. Solid work building as always but the book gave is more character development for a lot of the characters than moving the plot that much further. I can't wait to read the next one!

Just finished chapter 16 my blood is boiling!!! Deonn is truly a master storyteller and writer!!! She is just so good. If this trilogy continues to be this great, I think it will be considered a modern classic.

I absolutely loved it and I don't even like YA fantasy usually. The world building is solid for the a first book in a trilogy, the magic system is complex and unique. It's overall well written in it's simplicity. I love sweet Bree with all my heart, she is brilliant, smart, strong and vulnerable everything you want in a main character. The plot is addictive and keeps you wanting to read more! I love the dark academia, secret society vibes! The romance I enjoyed but it felt too quick for me although that's probably me not liking YA.
