🎧 Narrator: Jeremy Arthur, Will Watt, & Imogen Church 🎧
This book was so smart and clever. Alistair is accepted into Oxford and it’s his dream come true. He is there to study literature, but he is fully unprepared for the darkness that awaits as he gets swept into the world of secret societies.
For me this was one of those books that the payoff in the end was worth a bit of struggle along the way. I had a bit of a hard time digesting the information initially and the pacing was a bit slow along the way. BUT once this story got going, I was totally hooked.
I love dark academia and this delivered so beautifully. There are literary references a plenty. Alistair’s desire to fit into this world and how this makes him so easily influenced to be sucked into the dark underbelly of Oxford’s secret societies was so good.
And the twist was superb. I never see the twists coming but this one was just so satisfying. This was my first book by this author and I will surely keep an eye for future works!
🎧 I read this one in tandem with my eyes and ears. I think for many the audio alone would be fine but for some reason I had a hard time following along and digesting the information unless I used my eyes too. This is in no way a reflection of the narration though as it was really fantastic! I loved the vibe the narrators brought to this one!
