omg we finally have half and quarter stars!!!

So far so good! Oxford University with faes and other creatures in a mix of dark academia, murders, and political intrigue.

The atmosphere is magical and gory, and scary, and at times disgusting. I like the main character but I’m not sure where this story is going + there’s some things I don’t like but we’ll see ig

There’s history and lore in this book, which is a pleasant surprise.

ohhhh the famous controversial scene. dont piss me off, yall literally read sjm.

Chapter 2 done!
Nothing much has changed plot-wise, this section is more dedicated to characters and relationships.
And Anna. Oh my god. You’re an awful roommate.
One thing I’m not really enjoying is that the chapters are soooo long for no reason. This book is 280 to 320 pages long depending on the edition and it’s only 7 chapters, so you do the math :)

First chapter done! Yes, it was 59 pages.
So far I’m really liking it. It feels like a travel log of what the protagonist is experiencing as she’s for the first time in Taipei and living everything as a tourist/student. It feels like I’m there too! Everything is detailed, which can be a little heavy but I honestly like it.

this reminded me of seraph of the end

Just finished re-reading my favourite book, Vicious by V.E. Schwab UGHHH it’s so good, go read it now. NOW.
