A Lesson in Thorns
by Sierra Simone
dark
Bizarre. This had a fairly solid start, but gradually lost its appeal as I continued. I was promised gothic/dark academia, but it was more of a gothic erotica with a mystery that doesn’t quite unfold. The writing itself was a standout aspect, but the characters failed to captivate, the pacing was off, and the plot heavily leaned “religious cult ritual”. Overall, there wasn’t enough substance in this book to justify the read. It wasn’t for me, but I can see why someone else would enjoy it.
