Laertes by Carly Stevens
3.0
I liked this well enough. Though, it's marked as dark academia and that's not true. The university part of the story barely ever mention school. It's just another setting, not a commentary on academia.
I think the writing is good.
The setting of 1920s feel secondary. It could have been set at any time so I don't quite know why the 20s specifically.
The women in the story feel secondary as well. We only get Laertes perspective so one could argue we only see what he "chooses" to see. But I don't know, I think we could have done more with the retelling.
