Right from the start, the plot is suspenseful and intense, and I was so excited to get back into this dark academia setting.

She's intelligent, determined, and super inquisitive, even when she's thrown into situations that are completely beyond her understanding … Continue reading Book Review: Asperfell by Jamie Thomas
