Anne Ursu's The Troubled Girls of Dragomir Academy
I don’t have strong thoughts about this one, it was a pleasant enough read with great themes/messages and an interesting throughline about women's crafts, but I was never super invested in what was going on. I think it needed more character development from the secondary characters and maybe a little more to the climactic bits toward the end? The reveal is kind of grim but at least the book does acknowledge that these kids are traumatized by it. It did make me care about embroidery though. B/B+.
