2.0
for an anthology purportedly centered on dark academia there's so little to really sit in your thoughts and think on. other than "how far can we stretch the confines of dark academia (but not in a fun genre bending way, just a cheap running towards a trend train way)" and "finally, fujoshi in higher education representation"
can't tell whether I'm annoyed or relieved that the best story by far was at the very end. a reward for not dnfing the book entirely (though astoundingly I did have to dnf a few of these <50pg stories) but I also was so tired perhaps I didn't enjoy it as much as I could. looking forward to trying her full length works.
