I enjoyed this excerpt of Lost for Words, but I'm not sure how interested I'll be in continuing.
Loveday's character seems quite broody and reclusive. I'm interested in learning what has made her this way, but not sure if it's enough to keep me turning pages. Nathan seems cool, but this excerpt didn't give enough detail or information to give me an idea of his character. Aside from the way he dresses and that he does magic (eyeroll), the interest in poetry seems about the only interesting characteristic thus far.
Here are some excerpts I found noteworthy!
"He starts by nodding and then nods off , double-chin to
chest. It’s funny, he looks small when he’s sleeping. When he’s
awake, and he’s talking, he seems too big for the shop, too big
for York, although he says the city is perfect for him." pg 9
"‘I know, it’s a terrible habit,’ said the leather-coat-poet, and
he smiled and I smiled back, even though I didn’t really want to.
Smiles give too much away. More than your teeth." pg 14
