A review by balao
The Latinist by Mark Prins

2.0

I picked up this book mainly because it was dark academia and related to greek mythology. I did not like it as much as I thought I would. It was first, hard to get into, I didn't like the plot, and I hated both of the characters that the story revolved around. The plot had potential, but it seemed sloppy, not done well, and inconsistent, as well as a bit inaccurate. I hate the denouement of the book, I hate how it ended, it didn't work, it felt like it was just put there to try and fit the dark academia feel. For the idea for the plot, it felt to slow, and dragged, I felt like it would've been better with fast and continuous action, except parts were slow and felt unnecessary, especially where Prins tried to dive into philosophy and the academia part, it was tacky. I would've dnf'ed the book but I wanted to see what happened at the end.
