𝙲𝚞𝚛𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝚁𝚎𝚊𝚍: "𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙼𝚊𝚒𝚍𝚎𝚗𝚜" 𝚋𝚢 𝙰𝚕𝚎𝚡 𝙼𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚍𝚎𝚜 Getting ready to receive this fall season with this book. In "The Maidens," Mariana finds herself on the idyllic campus of Cambridge University after her niece Zoe's closest friend, Tara, has been murdered, while struggling with inner conflicts of her past. The way the author describes in great detail the settings is so dark academia aesthetic. The author also does a great job of including Greek myths and symbolism. I've read some reviews on the book afterwards and I am frustrated and annoyed at how the point and symbolism in this book has gone completely over people's heads. The author's use of red herring fallacy is sooo good, and as I'm typing this, I think he did such a great use of this fallacy because most people are misinterpreting the maidens. I think I just found a new level of appreciation for this book. The main character is a bit annoying and soooo blind, but I guess it's needed to move the story forward or whatever.
