"THAT DEVIL, AMBITION is razor-sharp, gut-wrenching, and out for blood, keeping the reader on edge while cutting deep with its masterfully clever plotting and beautifully flawed characters. I haven't been this obsessed with a book in a long time, even as it deftly put me in a chokehold and lovingly tore out my heart. It's a must-read, stand-out entry in the dark academia genre—not just good, but stunningly good.” - A.M. Strickland, author of In the Ravenous Dark
"That Devil, Ambition is required reading for all dark academia lovers. Every page is a twist of the knife, double edged with dark humor and searingly accurate critique of for-profit education. This is Linsey Miller at her best, brightest, and bloodiest." - Rosiee Thor, author of Tarnished are the Stars
“The detail is astounding. The suspense rises subtly as the year progresses, and the storytelling is engrossing. Stunning.” - Booklist (starred review)
“Stakes are high, the premise is fun, and the pacing makes for a delightful binge read.” - School Library Journal
“Miller devises a fresh, physics- and chemistry-driven magical system and utilizes cerebral close-third-person storytelling and biting narration to confront the twisted politics of dark academia.” - Publishers Weekly
"A brutal and breathtaking dark academia novel that explores the price of education and the sacrifices that are made to attain it, That Devil, Ambition was a heart-pounding read from start to poignant finish. Linsey Miller never misses." - Kamilah Cole, bestselling author of So Let Them Burn
"A richly imagined, wickedly sharp treatise on betrayal, love, and cunning—and more pointedly, who pays the price for all three." - Margaret Owen, author of the New York Times-bestselling Little Thieves series
"Brilliant, meticulous, and viciously surprising, this is dark academia at its most devilish (literally). Perfect for fans of VE Schwab, The Magicians, and The Atlas Six." - Jamie Pacton, bestselling author of The Absinthe Underground
"The claws are out in this compulsive read that's as wicked as it is smart." - Scott Reintgen, New York Times bestselling author of A Door in the Dark
"At turns nail-biting and thought-provoking, That Devil, Ambition is for those who don't flinch away from the nature of death and grieving. With intriguing characters and poetic prose, Miller's latest boasts a full curriculum of sordid, dreadful fun." - Tara Sim, author of We Shall Be Monsters
