I wanted to like this and I was so hyped to finally read it, but it felt far too familiar. The setup of a Black student at a predominantly white college discovering a secret magical society, layered with racism, feminine rage, ancestors or ghosts of POC giving their power to the FMC, and a love triangle between two friends who grew up together as 'brothers', felt almost identical to Legendborn by Tracy Deonn. None of that is inherently bad but all together the story felt more like an echo than something original. I kept waiting for it to be unique and that never happened for me. If you really enjoyed Legendborn and want something identical then this may be for you, but if you want something that feels original this isn't it.
