Karmina Wall's Reviews > The Professor

First of all, I’m so grateful to have an advance copy of this book.
Second: as a disclaimer: I did not realize this was a continuation of another book. I saw the summary and was immediately intrigued. It wasn’t built like a sequel, and you don’t need a ton of context from the first book to understand this book.
And finally: Although this year I haven’t read a ton of them, I am a huge fantasy and thriller person, and I’m a bit nitpicky with those genres.

I wasn’t originally sold. I thought it was taking a while to build up and I hated the switch between Marlitt to “His” and “Her” perspectives. It’s not something I usually dislike, but for some reason in this book, it didn’t fully work for me.
However, the ending of this book was well worth the read. The plot twists were fine, but the epilogue sold the book to me completely. I just wish it didn’t take that long for me to fall in love with the book. I think Marlitt was an insane narrator, but I honestly didn’t mind. I found Verena’s narration to be a little boring and confusing, but I guess it paid off.

I think the only problem for me is how long the plot took to unfold before the ending. The beginning is SLOW, especially for a sequel. The ending felt rushed, even though you can tell based on the quality that it was very thought out. I wish I got more action within the thriller. I’m still not a huge fan of the change in perspectives, but I see the necessity behind them. A good thriller overall.
