I would bet $ that if it weren't for my preexisting kink for underworld themes, I would be enjoying the book much less. Boarding schools are not my genre, I'm neutral on portal fantasy, the categorization of the realms feels restrictive, and I'm less interested in the mystery than in how Nancy and her friends differentially react to it. As it is, though, I'm having fun. Sorry you did not!

Curious to see your thoughts on Deathless. Our book club was divided on it. Holding my tongue for now on what I liked more & less in it. :)
