- THE CLOISTERS scratches that dark academia itch. I love a book focused on the strange and esoteric, and this book fits the bill with all kinds of details about art and the occult in the Renaissance.
- I did find the pacing of this book to be a bit off. I thought it lagged in the middle when Ann was kept out of the loop for a bit too long, and then the ending tumbled together quickly.
- Despite this and a few other character building quibbles I had (i.e., it should have been 100% more queer), I still tore through this book quickly and felt immersed in the uneasy atmosphere Hays built within it.
