Circle of Shadows by Marisa Linton
"I highly recommend this book; it's gripping and the author builds the suspense beautifully throughout the book. I couldn't put it down! There were plot twists that I didn't see coming. It was also dark and quite scary - in the best way. I found that " Read more of this review »
Circle of Shadows by Marisa Linton
"It's not only feisty and fabulous heroine, Evie, who makes this book such a joy to read - it's the city of Oxford itself that Marisa Linton brings to life in her shimmering prose. Eerily beautiful, yet decadent, Linton's Oxford lures us in, but like " Read more of this review »

"My first dip into YA dark academia and I devoured it. Unlike what I've possibly wrongly assumed about the genre, this is a really grounded contemporary fantasy with a strong - and somewhat troubled - family setting. What makes it especially compellin" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Marisa Linton  (?)

“In the sense of worldly advantage, it no longer signified whether people thought of him as having been an authentic man of virtue. There was no more political power or influence
to be gained from maintaining that identity. But to him it still mattered.”
Marisa Linton, Choosing Terror: Virtue, Friendship, and Authenticity in the French Revolution

“The Jacobin leaders were beset on many sides by enemies, both open and covert. But in the end the most dangerous and unforgiving enemies they faced were themselves. In choosing terror, they chose a path that led to self-destruction.”
Marisa Linton, Choosing Terror: Virtue, Friendship, and Authenticity in the French Revolution

“The idea of a specifically Robespierrist terror was a myth, invented by the Termidoreans, the men who overthrew Robespierre, who themselves were very much implicated in the recourse to terror.”
Marisa Linton, Choosing Terror: Virtue, Friendship, and Authenticity in the French Revolution
