“Watching it was like watching a potion get made, where you could see the sparkle of magic or the ether or whatever it was pouring into the code itself, like honey from an open wound.”
“She doesn’t want to be an anxiety-ridden mouse who’s afraid of the dark and doesn’t like to be alone.”
My absolute fav stories were Phobos, Weekend at Bertie's, The Hare and the Hound, The Professor of Ontography and Pythia.
Phobos by Tori Bovalino is dark academia at its best - secret societies, privilege, power, murder - the whole story was like a love letter to Ninth House and all books like it and I absolutely devoured it. As far as I'm concerned Tori can do no wrong and I only wish her story was a whole novel instead. Her debut The Devil Makes Three is one of my all time favs so if you read Phobos and you fall in love with it you should read TDM3 next.
Weekend at Bertie's is another one that just had me in its thrall the whole time. I've been meaning to read If We Were Villains for the longest time maybe now is the time.
Sabbatical and Playing were the only 2 I didn't really connect with or like. I found both boring and Playing was too repetitive. They just weren't for me at all.
