Ahoy there mateys! I picked this one up because of its focus of tide based magic and dark academia.  Sadly I abandoned ship at 23%.  Frankly, a quarter of the way through a book, I expect to be rapidly moving through the pages to find out what happens next.  I was bored and confused.  The pacing was slow and I did not care about the main character, Emory, at all. I didn't really like the other POV, Baz, either.  He seemed like a caricature.  There was a mystery and a secret society but a lot of the story was told in flashbacks that bogged down the writing.  Ye were supposed to sympathize with Emory's grief but she just came across as self-absorbed and silly. The academia setting was basically irrelevant to the plot.  The magic made no sense.  If ye have magic from childhood, then why do the students not seem to understand how it works. Also the world building was light despite so much descriptive narrative.  I stopped where I could feel the love triangle forming.  I cannot recommend this one at all.  Arrr!
