hateay 's review for:

Vita Nostra by Marina Dyachenko, Sergey Dyachenko
2.0

This was... an experience. It was exactly like I expected it to be atmospherically--strange and eerie and at times horrific--it just wasn't for me. I guess I came into this book expecting more magic, more worldbuilding, which is kind of on me because the synopsis never misled me in that regard. Anyway, the book was fine: long, interesting at times, but mostly unmemorable. I love the cover though.

Ok I just came back from reading some reviews and now I remember why I was feeling misled. Why are people comparing this to The Magicians and Harry Potter???
