brenddv 's review for:

A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee
5.0

You guys don't understand... I'm obsessed



I can't form coherent sentences because I happen to only be eloquent when I have to talk shit. But I'm done hating! Today it's love.. I... love today.

''Bury my bones deep, that I might feel the flames of Hell
-Last words of Margery Lemont, recorded by those present at her burial''

This is everything I've ever wanted from dark academia, hell, everything I've ever wanted in a book. This is what I wanted The Secret History to feel like. Victoria Lee gave me everything and managed to give the world a wonderful book with no male characters.



From this point I guess you could consider these as light spoilers (light because they're totally out of context) but I have to share my thought process in the form of pictures I've been saving from Twitter from the past years.

Me as soon as we were told that E was practising her forgery skills



The fact that we had an unreliable narrator makes this book even better for me. Maybe that's the main reason I loved it so much. But just remember: take your meds, kiddos! No matter how much you think you don't need to, If you start feeling like you're being haunted by your ex that cannot mean anything good for your sweet pretty brain. Of course, you could just blame it on the witches. To each their own.



From now on, you can probably find me sitting on my bed at 3am thinking about Felicity and how I would like to start a formal petition to add her to our ''Good For Her'' canon.

I'll write something better and actually helpful to those looking into reading this book later, when my will to live comes back from the grave.
