sarai0410 's review for:

Vita Nostra by Marina Dyachenko, Sergey Dyachenko
2.5
dark slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Unfortunately, this just didn't work for me. I was excited by the premise and the concept, but then quickly became confused and frustrated with the plot, pacing, and character 'development.' 

I did enjoy seeing Sasha's 'progress' (if you can call it that..) throughout her time at the Institute, but the structure of the story really pulled me out of any true enjoyment. 

I don't foresee myself continuing the series, but might look up spoilers at some point just to see if any loose ends were resolved.
