i'm starting to see the julian blackthorn appeal... i love a man who values competence
brutalizermp3 commented on lucyPagebound's review of Victorian Psycho
Tightly-crafted, propulsive read but for a book that leaned into horror/gore and shocking imagery, the plot had very little shock factor. Wanted more of a psychological unraveling and more at stake (none of the characters were like-able)

"[...] people remarked on what a picture the convent made, how like a Christmas card it almost was [...]". I actually really loved the fact this novella was set during the weeks leading up to Christmas. Especially since Christmas is traditionally known as the season of giving and children are taught that Santa will only bring them presents if they've been "good". This situational context really brings some additional depth to Furlong dilemma after what he encounters at the convent. The novella moves slowly through time and is quite introspective but I think it is definitely worth a read. Claire Keegan is a master with words.

a very well written novel that sort of meanders through the four separate storylines of these students (and a teacher) at the prestigious fine arts institution: wrynn. the world is lived in and seems to ask the very real question of art as activism. when does art stop being inspiring and start becoming exploitative? is a career in the arts a rich person's game, seeing as the connections and money one needs to be an artist are hard to come by? except, sirens and muses does not answer any of these questions. it definitely tries to but what we're left with is a slowburn and a wish that the author decided to focus on the sapphic romance between louisa and karina. honestly, they were the most interesting part of it all and i think the author felt that way too since their characters were the most fleshed out.
