One thing i didnt add is that I felt like immortal dark could have/should have (?) easily been marketed as an adult novel while a dark and drowning tide should have been moved down to YA. The one spicy scene in adadt was a little odd and felt forced, as if she needed to add it in there to qualify as an adult book? I would have switched ID to adult and ADADT to YA 🖤 and the more i think about ADADT, the more i hate it sadly :''') is Saft off my 'auto-buy' list?

Hard agree with the classification change. I enjoyed Immortal Dark and enjoyed the second half more than the first half. My complaints were mostly on the characters and the locations not having enough descriptions. ADADT was disappointing for me overall which is a shame. I liked Lorelei but the ending was just ?? Okay.

The sapphic element might be factor--LGBT content is more likely to be labeled as adult at a lower sexyness threshold than similar straight content. Especially in the last few years, with the Renaissance of both library censorship and moral panic about corrupting the children. My local library actually just shut down the Teen Corner altogether because the city passed new laws that could punish for putting the wrong content in kids areas. Of course "wrong content" is entirely up to the council's interpretation. Safer to not even try and send anything even remotely potentially controversial to adult shelves. It's very depressing. And I could very much see a publisher just deciding it's safer to lean adult.

what's weird is I first found A Dark and Drowning Tide in the newly arrived YA section of my library's catalog this past week (added to my Library TBR List), then I looked again later that day at the Adult newly arrived section and it was there... they had moved it.. which I thought was weird because I thought it **was** YA from the description.

For ADADT, all the characters are mid-twenties, which makes sense for their relationships and war experience. I don't feel like a book needs sex scenes to be labeled "adult".

I was DYING to read Immortal Dark for the longest time, when I finally got it after release I think I'd overhyped it, wasn't the love match I was hoping (tho I actually liked the messy 2nd half). The Ethiopeian lore and House magic was super cool though. EDIT: You are absolutely right that Taj is the only likeable character though lol. and maybe GK a bit

Have you read Vita Nostra? Academy for Liars sounds like it wants to achieve similar vibe but falling short. In Vita the MC is basically forced into the academy and there are also some unique powers but the classes and school itself is brutal. Mistakes are not acceptable and you read how that atmosphere influences students in and out of school (especially since they have to keep secret the things they really learn there). It also has a cool, unique academia vibe - it’s not cosy rooms where people discuss philosophy but rooms with pilling paint and radiators not working correctly and student trying to show who is the strongest while feeling so alienated from one another. It’s best, bleak academia I’ve read to date

I JUST finished ADADT yesterday so this is so needed because I .. did not like it and I was like is it me?! Maybe my expectations for fantasy are too high? But I was let down by everything, I normally love a murder-mystery who-dun-it, romance, monsters, political war, ect. but every trope felt like a let down. The characters needed more for me to care about, honestly I wish the book was longer it was maybe too much to fit in. I didnt vibe with it at all especially the end 😞 Gonna keep trying dark academia though thank you for these vidoes so much Cari ❤

Saft’s book earlier this year really does feel like it was written by a completely different person. Dark and Drowning Tide was SO much better, even though I gave it 3.75 (I’m just not an academic rivals or dark academia girly so it didn’t hit as much as I hoped). I think A Far Wilder Magic remains her best book though.

I just finished The Year of the Witching yesterday, and I totally get what you mean about Henderson's writing style. I enjoyed the book-I wouldn't have finished it if I didn't-but her writing style is overly-descriptive at times. It was also a bit repetitive? I don't know if An Academy for Liars was the same way, but in YotW I noticed a lot of times she would describe something, and then say that same thing again (like "he stiffened" and then "he stiffened" again three paragraphs later). I still liked it, but the style definitely made it harder for me to enjoy myself while reading.

I was excited aboit the Immortal Dark, but after seeing the size and reading the sample, I knew it would have to be an audiobook for me. I feel like we are seeing the book behind Kidan's eyes quite literally. Thats why it starts to feel really crazy because she is in WAAAAAAAY over her head. I think she is bent on revenge and the goal to find her sister is the horse she rides to justify her crusades. I feel like she loses the plot of her own goals in this world of hate betrayal. Its really interesting to see but also heckin frustrating as well.

Slovenia is gorgeous - I went with my mum and sister last year. Definitely go to Vintgar Gorge if you can!

Yeah the world building was really lacking for such a cool concept but i loved the vagueness of the ending actually!

I absolutely agree with Allison Saft. I DNF'd a Far Wilder Magic but mostly because it wasn't for me. A Fragile Enchantment was baaaaaad though and I DNF'd because I couldn't just deal. Also I was on the fence about the chronic pain rep, as someone which chronic pain, but I also know my experience isn't everyone's and I haven't seen anyone mention it so I have held it in as I don't want to point fingers around something like that, especially since I didn't finish... But the writing was not great. I agree, I think it hits if it's for you, but Allison Saft isn't for me.

Not a dark academia read but I do have a recommendation that I haven't heard anyone talking about: "Bladestay" by Jackie Johnson. It's a revenge western but the main characters are two people caught in the middle of a feud between two outlaws - Cari, when I tell you it was gripping, I couldn't put this book down. The twists, the slow burn, the reveals, augh its so good! Would love to see what you think! (Also, it's a stand-alone! 🎉)
