INTRIGUING.

BLOG || INSTAGRAM

This one took a bit for me to get into. The dark academia vibes are without a doubt there, the pacing was just a bit off. I loved the magic system. The tide magic is really cool and I’m curious about the gods aspects and how those will play into future books. There’s hidden dangers, uncontrolled magic, and secret societies.

I liked that this had two POV’s and you got to see different sides of the general plot. I enjoyed both main characters, Emory and Baz and am super interested in knowing how their story continues to play out. I feel like just enough of the world was hidden to make you want more without leaving a total sense of confusion about what’s happening.

Overall audience notes:
- YA Dark Academia
- Language: moderately strong
- Romance: one closed door
- Violence: high
- Trigger/Content Warnings: murder, attempted murder, loss of life, torture
