Hold onto your butts friends, because this book is EVERYTHING. We get the dark academia vibes, the creative worldbuilding, and all the spells a girl could dream of, and even then I'm left gasping. I couldn't put it down, mostly due to the stream of consciousness narration that placed me firmly in El's head, and finished it in under a day. If you enjoyed the first book, you won't be disappointed with this follow-up.

And I will say for someone who often guesses plot points and is a common "I knew it" sayer, I literally screamed during this book. Big, huge, ENORMOUS fan!!
