Enjoyable. Lovely. Fun. One part whimsical, one part romance; just how I love my fave characters.

Update 27\08-24:
Those who know me, know that I adore Vita Nostra and have encouraged people to read it for YEARS. It was also a book that was written as a standalone originally. So, while I'm entertained to be back in this highly atmospheric universe and to see Sasha struggle through the academy, I've been struggling to 'commit' to this read and finish it since it released in March 2023. The way the characters are brought back.. was done, but it didn't feel "needed" per se from the beginning for me. It could have ended at Vita Nostra as it originally did. However, I do enjoy how this book digs deeper into Sasha's belief

about a world without love being impossible ,

which was crucial to the - what the fk just happened - ending of Vita Nostra. It also feels partially urgent, but I'm also confused about some of the stakes and dimensions and such.

I think this is my official DNF :( 
But I'm not putting it past myself to read parts of it here and there until one day in the future, I've read it all.

May continue later. So far it didn't feel necessary.

Sorta finished? 

Mostly interested in the conclusions, not the reasoning and science and anecdotes. So skipped a lot of pages and read what I came here for. 

Four stars to this one. It was a quick, emotional and entertaining read, just like book one. More spice in it too. Reminds me of acotar now and then. 

Review to come. 

This book was a wildcard. I didn't plan on reading it for a long time, but then I picked it up and read it in a day. It was an easy read, enjoyable with some of my favorite tropes, some romantic tension and mysteries. It kept me guessing, and the cliffhanger ending got me ranting to my sister about what the f- just happened. I'm as pissed as the mc about this turn of events. 

Going to read book two! This was fun and entertaining!
