I think I'm going to get hate on this but I just don't get the hype.
Was it well written, yes (however, overly complex and I wasn't a fan of the subtext)
Was it an interesting story, yes (however, it is way too long and the pacing was rough)
Was it an important story, yes (however, it was a bit heavy handed/on the nose)
Additionally, I wasn't impressed with the magic system. I wanted more fantasy and adventure. I don't think dark academia is for me.
