A girl looking to clear her fathers name so she infiltrates a special school? Sign me up. The magic system in this book I found very unique and I loved it. Magical writing and books always intrigues and excites me. This book is definitely for fans of YA. While it has that dark academia vibe, there isn’t a lot of really spooky parts.

I thought it started a bit slow, it took me to around 20% which sometimes I would’ve given up at that point. But throughout the whole book I was always interested in knowing if her father was innocent or not and if so, then who it really was.

The romance came second for me here, I did think they kind of fell into it without much growth but after that I started to believe in their romance. The second half of the book they interacted a lot more and that grew on me.

This was a very interesting book. Near the end I was thinking about it at work and trying to figure out the twists that would come up. There was the usual moments of “what are you doing, you’re being an idiot”, but that’s pretty common in YA for me. I really enjoyed this one and if there was a sequel I would defiantly get it.

The Otherwhere Post by Emily J. Taylor is a captivating blend of fantasy and reality.
Taylor’s writing is vivid and engaging, drawing readers into a world that feels both magical and relatable. The plot is filled with unexpected twists, and the characters are well-developed and relatable, each with their own unique struggles.
