![]() ![]() It made it the beginning fairly stilted and hard to get through however, I think it was a crafty ploy from the author. ![]() At one point, the author described a cellphone and personal assistant (like Siri) to explain what they were and how they were used. The characters would say things that didn't exactly make sense with their characters or with the audience. The downside of this novel was some of the author's choices. If anyone gets a similar vibe or can pick out why it is different, I'd love your thoughts. I think I am used to long paragraphs of description, and this book focused more on short bursts of description with lots of internal (and external) dialog. I can't put my finger on exactly how it felt different from other novels I have read. ![]() It took me a little bit to adapt to the structure of the story. First, I want to say that the book had some great elements: folktales, a loving atmosphere for the reflective world to take on life, charming characters, a way to look at oral story-telling in the present day, and a gentle dose of non-binary love. I really liked this book, but it did have a rough beginning and some rough portions in the middle. ![]()
