Anthony's Recommendation
"Excited for this #NewBookTuesday: a "dark academia fantasy" from the author of Yellowface, a novel I really enjoyed. I don't read much fantasy so this should be interesting. Review coming Monday. This novel will definitely resonate with anyone who has ever achieved or attempted a PhD. I am not that reader. But I'm a sucker for anything set almost entirely in hell. I liked it fine, but not nearly as much as Yellowface."
