Creepy children in a creepy boarding school. Mwahahaha!! Loving it.

Intriguing, loopy, a bewildering and enchanting stumble around the last 130 years of history. Reminds me of Vonnegut’s best in the blending of whimsy, chaos and philosophy.

Did not finish. Could not relate and was not interested in the protagonists choices. It’s a no from me.

Fine. I guess I’ll read it then. Keeps popping up everywhere I look…

Profoundly moving. Troubling. And leaves me in awe of the gorgeous world we live in.

A bloody marvel.

Delicious. Can’t read it slow enough…

“But the sagas, I murmured. The sagas say there’s more world behind us than ahead.

Yes, she said, beaming, and a little surprised that I should remember my lessons. But they also say this - that the world ahead is borne aloft by our dreams and works.”

Gentle and moving.

Deeply moving

Thrilling!

Love some of the themes, but this book is glum and depressing. Protagonist is sullen and constrained, little sense of joy or wonder for events that are wondrous.

This is both difficult and engrossing for me. I’m so glad I picked it up.

Still have NO idea where this is headed, but loving it! Can see why it was picked up to film, absolutely thrilling and engaging.
