Read 2 times. Last read December 28, 2023.
I wasn't expecting such a profound or dark story. Normally dark stories don't work for me I'm just not comfortable in that kind of world, but this felt more profound than dark.
I am particularly impressed by McGuire's character work.
The whole vibe of this book is stillness. I just finished reading it and I feel... still. And deeply thoughtful - which, considering that is the theme of our current narrative character is very impressive. I can't wait to read the others.
RATING
Significance: 8
Writing: 8.5
Enjoyment: 8
Plot/Character: 9
Total: = Stars
I'm experimenting with a new review system that rates 4 key categories on a 1-10 scale and rounds down into a star rating (adapted from the CAWPILE system by Book Roast)
Book 14 in the 2023 Tor Dot Com Read a Thon.
