Wonderful book. I felt so seen, as it reminded me of the stories I would make up when I was younger. I feel like the more negative reviews fail to recognize that it's YA, so directed towards teenagers. It definitely deserves a place in the YA canon imo and I wish it would've been publidhed when I was younger.
A strong, yet no Mary Sue, main character, trying to overcome the misogyny of a "dark" academia setting. The writing and setting are wonderful
