Atmosphere

Interesting, I never go the school feeling I was hoping for. But the spookiness and the vibes were perfectly what was needed for this book.

Writing

Adult book, I was expecting a little less, because of other books by Leigh Bardugo, but this was not the same.

Very good writing, perhaps a little long, but I’m not complaining. Epigraphs didn’t grip me or bore me.

The movement between past and present was a good way to bring Darlington into the story.

Plot

Girl is murdered and the house that watches the other houses investigates. Bad things happen

Alex investigates what has the spirits up and working

Investment

My investment waxed and waned, but mostly waxed? It was good, just took a bit more to get started when reading it.

Left with wanting more, but being perfectly satisfied

Logic

Very logical and consistent. It was a little out of nowhere for the end of the book, but not so much that it was a dues ex. I knew belbaum had something to do with everything and I was suspicious of the Dean

Enjoyment

Misc

So many powerful scenes

The ending scene, in the deans office

The 1st working we see

Her first incident with the Grays what happened to allow that?

She’s a Wheelwalker. He’s a demon. Can I make it any more obvious here.

Merity Tara
