This was overall a very enjoyable read that bogged down at the end. It made heavy use of YA tropes but had adults-only romance and those two components fit awkwardly together. The characters' dialogue was very modern, which took getting used to with the setting.

The first two-thirds were a real page-turner that I compulsively read until I slowed down at the end.

The equation here was (a worse version of Scholomance) + (a better version of Divergent) + (a few Game of Thrones elements) + (sex scenes).

I'll definitely read the next one, and I wonder if the school will continue to feature in the plot, or if it will go another direction.
