À propos de cet audio

Tessa Templeton has thrived at Oxford University under the tutelage and praise of esteemed classics professor Christopher Eccles. And now, his support is the one thing she can rely on: her job search has yielded nothing, and her devotion to her work has just cost her her boyfriend, Ben. Yet shortly before her thesis defense, Tessa learns that Chris has sabotaged her career - and realizes their relationship is not at all what she believed.

Driven by what he mistakes as love for Tessa, Chris has ensured that no other institution will offer her a position, keeping her at Oxford with him. His tactics grow more invasive as he determines to prove he has her best interests at heart. Meanwhile, Tessa scrambles to undo the damage - and in the process makes a startling discovery about an obscure second-century Latin poet that could launch her into academic stardom, finally freeing her from Chris's influence.

A contemporary reimagining of the Daphne and Apollo myth, The Latinist is a compelling exploration of power, ambition, and the intertwining of love and obsession.

From the summary, I thought I would really enjoy this book but I found it a little lacking in some areas. It has all the elements of a perfect dark academia novel but I found the characters’ inner monologues sometimes took me out of the vibe. Certain sections just seemed unnecessary to the telling of the story and just took away from the more interesting parts. That being said, I still found it a gripping story so it’s worth checking out if you enjoy dark academia.

At first, I was put off by the narrator’s switching of accents, but once I got used to it I found it really helped to distinguish the two points of view. I found her vaguely transatlantic Tessa voice a little annoying at the beginning, but as I listened more I realized that it actually fits the character quite well. Overall, I think the narrator did a pretty good job making all the different voices stand out throughout the story.

An interesting story but felt somewhat lacking
