The eagerly anticipated sequel to the highly acclaimed Vita Nostra takes readers to the next stage in Sasha Samokhina's journey in a richly imagined world of dark academia in which grammar is magicâ??and not all magic is good.
In Vita Nostra, Sasha Samokhina, a third-year student at the Institute of Special Technologies, was in the middle of taking the final exam that would transform her into a part of the Great Speech. After defying her teachers' expectations, Sasha emerges from the exam as Password, a unique and powerful part of speech. Accomplished and ready to embrace her new role, she soon learns her powers threaten the old world, and despite her hard work, Sasha is set to fail.

However, Farit Kozhennikov, Sasha's dark mentor, finds a way to bring her out of the oblivion and back to the Institute for his own selfish purposes. Subsequently, Sasha must correct her mistakes before she is allowed to graduate and is forced to do what few are asked and even less achieve: to succeed and reverberateâ??becoming a part of the Great Speech and being one of the special few who dictate reality. If she fails, she faces a fate far worse than death: the choice is hers.

Years have passed around the Instituteâ??and the numerous realities that have spread from Sasha's first failureâ??but it is only her fourth year of learning what role she will play in shaping the world. Her teachers despise and fear her, her classmates distrust her, and a growing loveâ??for a young pilot with no affiliation to the schoolâ??is fraught because a relationship means leverage, and Farit won't hesitate to use it against her.

Planes crash all the time. Which means Sasha needs to rewrite the world so that can't happen...or fail fo… (altro)

While "Vita Nostra" didn't quite live up to the hype for me, I still found it an interesting reading experience, and was wondering in what direction the authors would take what seemed like a perfectly acceptable free-standing novel. That brings us to "Assassin of Reality," which essentially suggests that everything one read in the initial book is wrong, and is focused on the main character's trying to overcome their ostensible failure. At that point the air went out of the balloon for me and I had a hard time maintaining interest in this enterprise, and only got to the end by dint of some skimming; though that ending is an explosion of narrative color.

Going forward, it's hard to see a successful conclusion to this trilogy, what with the passing of Sergey Dyachenko and not knowing what his wife Marina brought to their artistic partnership. It does make me sad that I can't give this work a higher rating. ( )
