Totally absorbing, engaging and evocative
The author is exceptionally talented in creating a world that grabs you and makes you feel that you are there. Not a wasted sentence or phrase in the book, each word being used to engage or develop.
The story is not written in a strictly linear fashion, which helps draws the reader in as we want to figure out how it all pieces together and why.
Alongside the remarkable writing, is the conceit of the book which is so wonderfully unique and imaginative, it makes the reader why it doesn't actually exist in reality. There is no doubt that anyone who picks up this book will be drawn in, and left feeling like the characters are friends who they will miss when they reach the end.
Intriguing, emotional and gripping - a great read.
