Gareth Brown clearly knows how to write books that I love. I love love loved his previous book so I was so excited to find out that he had a new one coming out. Magical books were awesome, magical objects turned out to be completely awesome, too. And I loved the references back to the first book in a way that was not disruptive to those who never read the first book but felt like an insider’s gift to those who did! Like his first book, this story is full of imagination, joy, a true joy for your senses, especially visually. Of course all the good must be balanced by evil, so evil is there too. Some very interesting choices for evil in this book. All the characters are unique and jump off the page. It is clear to me I will forever read anything Brown writes, I just hope he writes fast so I can keep reading more and more of his wonderful stories. with gratitude to netgalley and William Morrow for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
I have read every book that Evelyn Skye has written and I am incredibly lucky to call her my friend. So this review might feel biased, but here’s what I am going to tell you: if you haven’t read any books by Syke or even if you have this is the one you want to read. This book is magic. Each of Skye’s books, while varying widely across genres, has her signature writing style which is visual, painterly and has elements of magic and whimsy. They all have memorable characters. But one, this one is a gift. You can read the blurb so I won’t repeat the plot but here’s what matters most: this book will make you feel warm and happy and hopeful for the world. You will fall in love with Chloe and her ability to hold on to herself and her optimism in a world that is always trying to change us or improve us. Chloe’s sense of self is strong, unyielding and makes it impossible not to root for her. Yes, there’s a romance at the root of this story but it’s so much more than that. It restores your faith in humanity. It allows you to travel to a place where people are flawed and struggling and finding their way back home and hanging on to their unyielding belief that we can create good and joy in the world even as we are trying to find our way. This book will make you feel warm and hopeful and like the wonderful hug you needed. I cannot recommend it enough. with gratitude to netgalley and Atria for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
Another historical fiction. I loved this one too but I might now need a little break. These books, while fun to read, are soooo long that by the end I feel like I’ve spend way too much time in their world. |
