Vita Nostra by Marina Dyachenko, Sergey Dyachenko
5.0
I stayed up until 2 am to finish this book. It's so engrossing, and I'm quite sad it's over. I've already started the second novel, and am sad it will eventually come to an end.
I have a tendency to get too wrapped up in a stories formula often bothered by predictability. When I'm enthralled, it's usually by beautiful and/or unique prose and character development. Vita Nostra is unlike anything I've read before.
It's dark, gritty, and delightfully weird. The Dyachenko's wove philosophy, magic, mysticism, psychology... At times it doesn't make sense, but I still found myself entranced in the mind-bending journey.
It's one of the most beautiful novels I've read this far. I've been obsessing over this book and can't recommend this book enough.
