alexawkelly 's review for:
A Lesson in Vengeance
by Victoria Lee
Conflicted on this one. Loved the creepy, witchy, dark academia aesthetic of it all, but the pacing kind of felt...all over the place? Not much happened for the first 3/4 of the book, and then when things got really exciting and tense and holy-hell-what's-going-to-happen, it just went by so super quickly. Also, Ellis absolutely RADIATED "Alexa's wretched ex-friend" vibes, probably because they're both smarter-than-thou gaslighters (Ellis would definitely be mean to me about my job as a librarian! Just saying!), and I liked that because of how real it made her feel to me. But also, dang, I really should have read this book BEFORE befriending that person. Live and learn.
