so many great elements (at least in my opinion) in this book. it’s dark academia, a mystery, thriller, and has underlying themes of greek tragedies.
his storytelling is great, the plot is super intricate and he manages to make everything piece together in the very end. when i got to that point in the book, i had to set it down and needed a minute to process. he truly puts you into the protagonist’s (marianna) headspace and we make the connections alongside her.
there’s a twist at the end that i wasn’t suspecting, even as someone who enjoys thrillers. he throws out different characters that could be the killer that send the reader on mini spirals, trying to piece together how they could have done it, and that just adds to how great the moment of realization/unmasking is of the real killer.
only minor complaints is that while his cast of characters is diverse, all the poc characters are just in the background. i wish we got more on officer sangha.
