Vita Nostra by Marina Dyachenko, Sergey Dyachenko
5.0

i thought that perhaps, having read this once, i wouldn't fall into the overwhelming black hole that this book is.

god was i wrong, and i love this book for it.

vita nostra swallows you whole, it chews thoroughly and it does not spit you out. it takes you in and you're forced to live in it, there is no way out. one of the few books that can capture me in its abstract ideas, and even when i can't understand it, i am still taken by it and want to be taken by it.

vita nostra is strong and relentless, i hope that the other books in the series are translated soon and i look forward to reading them.
