My Review:
I got really caught up in this story. I do not handle actual horror very well, and A Lesson in Vengeance walked this line perfectly; just as creepy and horrifying as I could handle, although there were a few moments near the end that certainly crossed the line. By then, though, I was in too deep.
The question isn't whether magic is real. It's whether I can touch it without being consumed by it.
Fortunately for me, Quinn takes that moment to step in. “Mental illness in genre,” they say. “Are you more interested in accuracy of portrayal? Or the significance thereof?”
“Mostly how depictions of mental illness are used to build suspense by introducing uncertainty and a sense of mistrust, especially with regard to the narrator’s perception of events, and the conflation of magic and madness in female characters.”
