1/18/2023. I read this back in 2020, and I honestly didn't know how to rate it. The dark academia feel to it did resonate. This book is very dark, but I enjoyed the literary references. Bardugo had me hunting for some obscure works. I reread this because I wanted to read the second book Hell Bent, and to be honest, I had forgotten everything from this book, even one of the main characters. I think it's because I read it so fast the first time. I took my time reading it this time.

Ripped through this. I’m really enjoying well-done fantasy world building and have a LOT of thoughts about it right now!
Anyway: this was dark! And I love Ivies behaving badly. I’m saving Hell Bent for spring break because otherwise I will be useless until then!

4.5 stars, rounded up. Terrific fantasy book. It lulls a little in the middle but overall great characters, terrific plot and wonderful integration of the real world of Yale/New Haven and the imagined world of secret societies.
