pickFantasy/magical realism are some of my least favourite genres. Having said that, I made an effort to go along for the ride. I enjoyed the world that Clarke built, the characters and the twisted tale.
Thanks once again goes to @Rissreadswithcats for being my book-pusher, and literally putting this in my hand 🙏. Pushing me right out of my 📖 comfort zone 😆.
thegirlwiththelibrarybag It‘s a much more accessible read than her previous work, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell… I haven‘t DNFed it but I also haven‘t picked it up for half a year 🤷🏻♀️ I liked Piranesi tho and having friends who push books on you! 6d
LeeRHarry I found this incredibly pretentious …but maybe that‘s just me. 😏 6d
Leniverse @LeeRHarry Yes, that's just you. 😂 6d

MrsMalaprop @LeeRHarry the one dissenting voice 😂 4d
MrsMalaprop @thegirlwiththelibrarybag Yeah, didn‘t love it enough to read her other books. 4d
Rissreadswithcats I enjoyed this one but DNF Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. And to be fair I think I just had an extra copy of this so I gave it to you. I can‘t remember raving about it to you. But maybe I did! 🤣🤣🤣 I‘ll go back now and read my review. (edited) 4d
Rissreadswithcats @LeeRHarry I just read your comment on my review and it made me laugh out loud! 😹 This was it - ‘Really?! 🤪‘ (edited) 4d
LeeRHarry @Leniverse 🤪 4d
LeeRHarry @Rissreadswithcats 😆 I stand by it! 4d
MrsMalaprop @Rissreadswithcats I don‘t recall you raving about it. I think you are a book-rescuer & I am merely a receptacle who can‘t say no 😂. 4d
