Vita Nostra by Marina Dyachenko, Sergey Dyachenko
5.0
Wow. This book went beyond my wildest expectations.
My first read from C.M.Djachenko, I randomly picked it up while visiting family in Ukraine, because Roxi, my sister, said they were good.
A year it sat on my shelf.
I opened it one day...and it was over from the first 3 pages.
Books is absolutely great! It is written for the eastern block audience, who will understand details and subtle difference of life.
Some will think it strange and weird.
I can't see this book finding much common ground. You will either get it and love it or stop reading half way through...(at least my opinion).
I loved it. The concept behind the book, which you will only really understand if you finish it, fully and without skipping is absolutely awesome.
I've read a lot of books, but this one surprised me.
If I had to re-create the idea of the ambiance it delivers, you take Harry Potter and mix it with Kafka's dark undertones.
Just go and read this to make up your own mind! :)
