do i like this book or is the tragedy what attracts me to this book? I fear i have a very soft spot for crap endings.(crap as in sad or strongly less than happy)
from the start, the end of this book was revealed! It came to me in a secret history/ illiad theme! but when written in acts and multi prologues, i was constantly reminded that the ending was never going to be perfect.
what i found horrifying is why Oliver was to be punished for the crime ...more

I鈥檝e had this on my shelf for years and I regret not reading it sooner! This was atmospheric and spooky and full of Shakespearean drama and tragedy. Absolutely the best Dark Academia novel I鈥檝e ever read 馃枻
Well everyone excuse me while I go sob myself to sleep...
BUT BEFORE:
Oml this book... I have to admit I was a little hesitant in the beginning but wowww did it take my soul and breath away. When I tell you I got attached to this book, I mean that I fell asleep with it.
The characters were amazing too! I love how everyone revolved around each other and the way relationships were built. This author made it so good it destroyed me at the end; and I knowwww I'm a sensitive person but come on!

This is the only way I want to consume Shakespeare from now on. Rio took the tired and over-played stories and gave them all new life so brilliantly it's made me fall in love with the plays again.
As for the story itself. Holy shit. My heart aches. But I'm also filled with joy and hope after that ending... it's such an odd sensation. I wasn't expecting this story to be as bitter sweet as it is. I wasn't expecting to want for the characters (read: Oliver and James) as much as I did.
