Neverthorn by Shannon Mayer
2.5

ೃ⁀➷ 2.5 stars *ੈ✩‧₊˚

The first half was good and kept me interested but then it quickly came to a point where certain elements felt overused and redundant. It took away from the story and enjoyment rather than adding to it. 

The best parts about this book would’ve been that she’s 29 and the teacher x student trope but even that felt like it happened in name only. There was hardly any teaching going on and the fmc behaved like she was 20. And the academy setting was all over the place. There wasn’t any clear ground or setting which felt messy. 

The villain felt very cartoonish and cliche. It was also a little too predictable for me. Just overall underwhelming. I’m disappointed because I really had such amazing expectations from this. 

ೃ⁀➷ Thank you NetGalley and Michael Joseph, Penguin Random House for the ARC ♥︎
