Kayleigh's Thoughts
A Study in Drowning blends dark academia and fantasy in a richly layered and poetic narrative. With an intricate world and a writing style that’s both beautiful and challenging, this story pushes readers to slow down and sit with its deeper ideas—particularly its commentary on the treatment and silencing of women.
My first experience in reading dark academia, and it certainly won’t be my last.
