Sweet Days of Discipline by Fleur Jaeggy
1.5
dark medium-paced
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I sped through Sweet Days of Discipline and honestly, I didn’t love it. I’m not sure if reading it all in one sprint made me like it less? I just... didn’t get it? It’s set at a boarding school. The protagonist becomes fixated on a new student and is obsessed with conquering her. But, not much happens? Not a lot of plot, not a lot of character development, IMO. It just wasn’t a favorite or that enjoyable to me personally, as I like either really strong plot or really strong characters, and it’s rare that I love a book without either. Some reviews say it’s beautifully written but I found it sparse and lacking detail in a way that was a jarring and confusing.
