Okay, that was a great read! Right up till the end. I love how there's so many layers; at one level it's just a story about the trials of college and friendships, but there's also this cool subtle fantasy, and then there's the whole rampant colonialism happening in the outside world and Hermes and everything!

And somehow she managed to keep the whole "college story" vibe in the forefront for the entire first half of the book, with everything else just happening on a layer underneath (of course, after that things turned dRaMaTiC 😮)
