My one only critique of this book was the perceived age and maturity of the characters in this book. The story was great regardless, but the story definitely focuses more on the history of possible magic, and less so on the modern-day incarnations. While this story describes the Dalloway Five and the presence of witches, I should note that this book isn’t as full of magic as the synopsis might imply. The last quarter of the book was especially addicting, so much so that I had to delay my current plans so I could know the ending. Not only did I find myself wanting to stay up to find out what happened next, but I also found myself reaching for the book first thing in the morning – and as someone who seldom reads this early, this says a lot. Not only that, but A Lesson in Vengeance had me hooked all the way through. It became a hauntingly comfortable escape to immerse myself in this story. From page one this book delivers just the right amount of unsettled feelings at the right time, combined with the cozy atmosphere of books, candles, records, and overall a place seemingly free of modern technology. But so much of that love for me comes from the setting and the writing, which Lee did an incredible job of portraying. Lee’s writing was mesmerizing, the setting was absolutely atmospheric, and I just could not put this book down.Īfter reading this book, I find myself wanting to look for more dark academia books to read. I’ve been eyeing A Lesson in Vengeance since I first found out about it in anticipated lists and I’m so glad I finally read it.
