cryinglightning 's review for:

A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid
4.0
dark mysterious

very beautiful and atmospheric writing that made it very easy to really dive into the world. 
the development of the relationship between the mcs felt a bit superficial and too quick at times tho - i liked them together but i expected more build-up and details around them!
i really enjoyed the story itself and the dark academia vibes mixed with faeries and folktales (although it could have been a little darker for me personally), but especially the way that women and proving gender prejudices wrong played a big role in this and how topics like misogyny and sexism were handled
