DNF

I gave it a fair shot; got 20% of the way through before calling it quits.

Brimstone Academy: Semester One was just a little too amateurish for my tastes. Every other dialogue was followed by the verb "said", the narrative was very dry and relied too much on telling rather than showing, and the book was full of little mistakes and annoyances—I took the time to highlight and note some of them—and in dire need of some thorough editing

Plus, the two guys that were introduced up to where I read were absolute assholes—and while I dig a good asshole MMC, I like them charming and arrogant, not disgusting and condescending. And Harper came across as dimwitted and floormat-y, which are as far from the qualities I want to see in a romantasy FMC as you can possibly get.

I'll just step off here, because I don't think this novel will get any more enjoyable for me.
