Vita Nostra by Marina Dyachenko, Sergey Dyachenko
3.0
3.5 ⭐️ If you held a gun to my head and asked me the plot of this book, I simply could not. Our main character goes to school and has multiple psychedelic experiences while dodging all personal relationships? This is definitely an all vibes book and I’m not mad about it. I did really like it and will be continuing the series.
I read this because of its comparison to Harry Potter in multiple reviews. The only way this is like Harry Potter, is that it’s an academia story. I would compare this more to a new age Name of the Wind, if anything, but overall this was an incredibly unique book. A very interesting concept that students are blackmailed into attending a school where they will be learning metaphysical concepts and will become more enlightened after each year. Highly recommend having a psychedelic experience before reading as almost every course and teaching the main character goes through can be closely related to what a trip feels like LOL. The ending felt a little predictable but is enough of a cliffhanger that I want to read the next book!
