Feminine anger are

An interesting take on ridding women of their anger by men in positions of authority.

Rather ham handed

I just finished and my overall thought is "that was dumb". There are so many better ways to explore female anger, powerlessness, and the duality of man. This was just silly, plodding, and exceedingly unsubtle. They are also some of the most annoying characters I've encountered in a long time. Not scary, not thoughtful, not good.

Good message

I thought I would have stop reading a few times as I am not a feminist. Fortunately I finished the book and was pleasantly surprised at the ending and that I supported it. Great read and a twist I was not expecting.

Aesthetically pleasing & great plot

This book circles the theme of acceptance of all emotions as a woman. The author shines a light on the ridiculous notion that feminine emotion is supposed to be all light in the eyes of small minded people.

The aesthetics of this book is so compelling; creaky floors, woodsy campus, herbs, crystals and hilarious characters with great style.

The performance of Alice’s voice was too slow for my taste but speeding the pace to 1.2 smoothed this issue for me. And I was little disappointed the romance factor never reached a full boil.

However I enjoyed this book so much, I’d definitely recommend.

So good

I read this on a whim, not sure what to expect. So happy that I did. It starts a bit slow but… wow! Really worth it.

loved it

genuinely enjoyed all the gothic literature references and the descriptions fit so well to a dark academic theme. I normally feel like i can figure out the evil or plot of a book early on but i was just as caught up in all of it as the author intended. I think the only time i felt a little detached from the book was the nun and rubies bit. But everything, including that was beautiful woven together. Also i just love Jekyll and Hyde references.

Loved the narrative

Very good listen and great plot with likable characters, excited for more books in the future.

DNF

And can’t remember why. I just don’t think this book was for me….. I’m sure it was a great book.

Good story overall, just disturbing at times

Just a warning that there is a scene where an animal gets murdered. Hard to get through that part for me personally. Wanted to warn others that have a hard time with this type of content.
