The prose isn't exactly perfect and some things could have been done better ie have Gideon be more participative of the plot during the beginning of the trials - she spent a lot of time just... walking around lol.

But the dialogue ooooooh my god. Harrow in the pool scene has altered my brain chemistry permanently. The characters are interesting, all different in their own ways with distinct personalities and intricacies. The world building got a little confusing here and there, and we could have done with better exposition, but oh well. It was FUN.
