A Theory of Dreaming

I'm a bit at a loss how to rate this book. On the one hand I had been dying to know what happens with Effie and Preston after the earth-shattering events of A Study in Drowning. On the other hand though, I had the suspicion that the story was told (and I also like books that have an ending that leaves it to the reader to the imagine what the future looks like).

Let me start with saying that I found the vibes very different to book 1. While there was mostly a goth atmosphere with a constant feeling of drowning while reading, this is more dark academia. Effie and Preston have to deal with the aftermath, with Preston being the center of the narrative. Plotwise there is not a lot happening, we have academia life and some weird dreaming. I still think this a good book, but it has little of what blew me away in A Study in Drowning. I strongly encourage you to read for yourself and see if you get sucked into the narrative or not. 3,5/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @penguinrandomhouse @penguinukbooks for the eARC! #ATheoryOfDreaming #AStudyInDrowning #Netgalley #Bookstagram
