Vita Nostra by Marina Dyachenko, Sergey Dyachenko

5.0

an absolutely fantastic and deeply distressing book. i loved it. it’s everything i wanted from The Magicians but didn’t know how to ask for. everyone should read it. you will like it if you like a mystery but you don’t obsess over having to solve it, and also if you like being tense and confused. it’s not going to be a good book for people who derive pleasure from “world building” and trying to define + police logistical consistencies in “world building.”
