Modern Divination by Isabel Agajanian
3.5
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
Modern Divination is driven by characters. While you'll hear this on dark academia lists, while the vibe and the aesthetics might match, the actual core of the subgenre isn't really here. Which isn't a bad thing! If you like country homes, sweaters, and armchairs, that's more where this is. Based on the synopsis, you might be expecting this high paced action about what is hunting them. But stop there. It's important you re-evaluate because what Modern Divination really is, is a story about characters, found family, and love. It's about being afraid of what it would be like to let someone in.
