#The Grimoire of Grave Fates#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#i enjoyed this a lot!#i could have used a list of all the characters to remind myself (which I guess is probably the chapter list…i listened to the audio tho)#I think a lot of reviews of people disappointed w the wider plot are like. treating it like any other book rather than an anthology#it is def a little repetative#I think: go into it thinking of it as a bunch of character studies set in the same place with a background mystery?#I mean. I enjoyed it a lot more than i enjoy normal anthologies so#i’ve seen a lot of ppl saying this reads as younger YA..imo it reads as exactly what YA should be (it’s just: so much YA trends older)#I like that it’s like. the school is so progressive and inclusive!#but most of the marginalised students are like……..there’s still plenty of inaccessibility and bigotry actually lmao#realistic#the secret element in the last story kinda felt like it came out of nowhere and i def think it ends pretty abruptly#also. the school nurse is a reanimated skeleton who loves bone puns
