The Rook by Daniel O'Malley
I'd heard so much about this book, and some of the editorial reviews are off the charts. As an author, I'm always interested (and excited) to see something new in fiction. I came to the book with high expectations, but it ended up being a roller coaster ride ending in disappointment.
The Rook is a mostly well written and enjoyable story, and I agree with a lot of what was said in that regard. It's Read more of this blog post »

“One of my favorites from my favorite author of all time:
The story-maker proves a successful 'sub-creator'. He makes a Secondary World which your mind can enter. Inside it, what he relates is 'true': it accords with the laws of that world. You therefore believe it, while you are, as it were, inside. The moment disbelief arises, the spell is broken; the magic, or rather art, has failed.
