Good book

I was almost mad at this book because it was sold to me as a gay dark academia and most of the book was anything but that, however in a true dark academia murder mystery fashion this book took my breath away. The last Act, was brilliant. The epilogue ruined me for good. It's one of those books that will haunt me for a long time.

The problem with this author is that this is a demo book with poor character build up. While reading the book, you will not be able to relate with the characters as they appear too forced and untrue. The story is ok ok. Overall I found it mediocre. You can skip it. Leaving 3 stars because some themes and depictions were decent. Dark Academia is not all that. If you want books to illuminate your life read Secret History or sense of an ending. Bye.

Best book

The book has a lot of Shakespeare references.. So much so that the characters sometimes communicate using phrases from the play! If this isn't your cup of tea then I suggest finding a different book

I really like this book. Thought all the people in this book are quite broken, it really extract different emotions from its readers and I really like that.

Lets just say , being my first dark academia read , this gave a massive ride through my emotions . Though the Shakespeare part was a bit tough for me , Oliver is one person i just want to have in my life . All his imperfections , all his insecurities, his naive thinking and seeing good in everyperson , I mean thats a man who i can hold on to ! A great friend and a greater person for me . Not only Oliver but every character had shown something or other we go through . I loved how every character changes with one situation. Specially , the character development of Oliver, its unforgettable journey for me . I'm sure eveb after some years , i will love to read this again . Partly becuase its my first even book in this genre and partly because its Oliver.

Engaging dialouge and story, and makes me want to go give the Bard a deeper look. Amazing job by the author.

5 starts for the book itself, came in great condition and is very pretty.4 stars for the story. Great characters and narrative, it does keeps you intrigued.The writing is very good and I really enjoyed it.There are a lot of Shakespeare references, which is fine, but I know close to nothing and felt like I lacked the depth of the novel in that area. Pretty sure it gives much more nuisance to the story, but I got kind of lost in translation.

A entrega foi rápida e o livro chegou sem um arranhão sequer. Simplesmente amei o livro, a leitura foi super gostosa e me deixou com aquela sensação de quero mais!

i like it i rate it 10/10

Omg I don’t even read Shakespeare, but this boom was AMAZING!! I literally couldn’t put it down. This made me read dark academia book!
