In Episode 83, Gen and Jette dive into the world of dark academia with A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee. It's heavy with witchy vibes and spooky atmosphere. If you know us, then you know that's completely on brand. We had so much fun talking about all the twists in this one. Now we're wondering why we haven't been reading more dark academia.
\nShow Notes:
\nIf Gen had written her "Books Where the Setting is a Character" blog post after reading this book, it would have made the list. The setting is so good.
\nWe're now on the hunt for more books in the dark academia category, so if you have any favourites, let us know. Drop them in the comments, Tweet us, DM us, or email us, we want them all.
\nThere was another shout out to Paper Houses by Dominique Fortier. We'll never stop talking about that one.
\nSpoilers abound in this episode, which normally doesn't matter too much, but this book benefits from being read spoiler-free.
Next episode is a Holiday Wrap episode. Keep an eye on the blog for our year-end write ups as well. We'll be talking about our bests of the year and looking forward to a (hopefully) better 2022.
