She’s so good..

More Harry Potter-esque than “magical realism”… the tone is very Young Adult though the writing is dense and overly-crafted.. the explicit involvement of the Odyssey I think is forced, imposed.. and overly referenced in lit in general.. Sing Unburied Sing is tough to follow… personally, this direction into hokey hosts, spirits and woowoo, has been rolling my eyes throughout…

YA novel
