A Study in Drowning Paperback – 13 June 2024

The media could not be loaded. I will just talk about the quality of the book here.The size of the hardcover is smaller than the usual 24 cms but with a book of 380 pages that is good enough.The cover is matte with some gold details and the hardcover underneath is thick paper with cloth relief. The printed paper quality is good, not too thin with moderate sized font with medium margins that makes it easy to read. Overall a good buy for the price. My seller was u-read and I got it delivered in perfect condition.

For once, the book wasn't damaged and there was no denting or extremely dirty pages. I am happy and satisfied with the package.

This is one of my favourite book of all time. So I wanted to get 1 hardcover of it. But the packaging wasn't really good. The outer cover is scratched and torn some places. Please improve the packing.

I think this five stars aren't enough for how good this book was! I didn't expect it to be as good as it turned out. I had seen this book way before it was published and got famous! Even then it intrigued me. I was drawn by its cover. It was mysterious, dark and compelling you to look at it. I love when a cover draws you in. They hype is so worth it. I felt this story like my own story. it inspired it so much. The author has a wonderful talent of words which gripped up and holds hostage of your attention. Its beautiful. It is dark gothic academia story with hint of romance. At times, it was scarry too and if the words made you look back at the wall in horror it has done its work! I always believed you can only see horror but this book made me feel it to. At times, I couldn't read at night for I was sacred of the stories written in this story. It talks a great deal about inequality among the two genders and mental health. I loved how the character of Effy grew till the end. I want to be her so badly. I feel even if you end up not liking the book, you will get inspired and feel connected by women's emotions, superstitions, magic and great divide between the borders. it felt like author was also writing problems, political problems we are facing currently.In its entirety, this book is definitely worth a read. Recommended for mature YA.

The story flows easily and beautifully. The writing style is mature yet beginner friendly. It's very engrossing and has a great, satisfying ending, slow burn romance and follows the rivals to lovers trope. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this.

it's completely original, in perfect condition which is shocking for the price & the story itself is a 5/5 :)

This book is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. Effy is the most adorable, talented woman surrounded by the worst people ever (the number of times I wanted to punch them) and we follow her story as she is hired by the family of her favorite author who is dead to re-build his house. Effy is an architecture student, though she really wanted to be a literary student but girls are not allowed in the Literary college. This leads to her rivalry with Preston (I LOVE HIM) because he IS a Literary student and Effy is jealous.As the story progresses, you realize this book is more about Effy than the romance or the fantasy part of it. It reflected upon some things that happen in the real world fantastically. It was eerie at times, funny, adorable and empowering.It is very different from any other fantasy novel I have read, but it is also one of my favorites. Effy is going to stay with me forever!

Haven’t read it yet. But the hardcover is original and in great condition. Loving the aesthetics already
