Because of that, she's been given a scholarship to Yale and introduced to Lethe, the group that monitors Yale's magical secret societies. This is a second shot for Alex, who up until recently was selling drugs and her life was going off the rails. Then, a girl turns up dead and Alex refuses to back down from investigating. The story goes back and forth between the present in winter with Alex's investigation and the past fall when her mentor, Darlington, hadn't yet gone missing. Eventually the two storylines converge and we learn what brought Alex to Yale and how it affects her present. I knew this was dark academia fantasy, but I didn't quite anticipate the level of violence and intensity throughout. The mystery was well done, and Bardugo addresses power and privilege in a fantasy Yale. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Galaxy "Alex" Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale's freshman class. Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug-dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. In fact, by age twenty, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Some might say she's thrown her life away. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world's most prestigious universities on a full ride. What's the catch, and why her? Still searching for answers, Alex arrives in New Haven tasked by her mysterious benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale's secret societies. Their eight windowless "tombs" are the well-known haunts of the rich and powerful, from high-ranking politicos to Wall Street's biggest players. But their occult activities are more sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination might conceive. They tamper with forbidden magic. They raise the dead. And, sometimes, they prey on the living. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
