A review by bookishexpat
The Grimoire of Grave Fates by Hanna Alkaf, Margaret Owen

Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.

Slow, and not in a good way. The chapters being written by different authors mess with the flow and make it feel fractured. There are also too many POVs and too much details about lots of different magic systems, and not enough how all the characters  and magics fit into the academic setting. 
All the detail and different personalities make it feel like you’re starting over each chapter, which makes it  ultimately tedious to get through. And unfortunately overall it’s just not interesting enough to stick with.
