Following Lucia’s perspective feels like a much more coherent experience. Intriguing. I shall venture on!

It almost reads as a stream of consciousness, but at the same time it’s some of the most vivid reading I’ve ever had. Honestly cannot put this down. You feel like you’re right there with the Reader and Lucia. The jumps from present to past are all interwoven so it’s making this just such an intriguing experience.

I’m trying to ensure I read this slowly so I take the time to properly absorb everything. It’s very discordant in its style, but that feels totally appropriate for this story. I was also pleasantly surprised with the photos included.

I’m really excited for this book. Already the author writes like poetry. Very descriptive, and you’re immediately thrown into the narrative - absolutely no warm up at all. I appreciate that in an author. I’ll simply catch up when I’m meant to.
