I the magical realism, an explanation of Chinese calligraphy. A fascinating read into what makes up the calligraphy symbols, and how Daiyu interprets them
I enjoyed the storytelling & narrative aspect of the book. The story is about Ciri, but we follow everyone else around her, as well as events which concern her
Mr. Gray did a vast amount of research, it certainly shows in this book which is both dark and moody. Kudos to him for writing about the unknown soldiers
The hard science parts are certainly ambitious. The author goes into such topis as oceanic physics, as well as science of the atmosphere
One could assert that The Devil’s Whisper is influenced by Dracula. At some points, the literary narrative is told through letters, as well as diary entries.
I loved how the author incorporated scenes from The Little Prince into the narrative, allowing Saint-Exupéry to build his classic over the years
Nine Tenth of the Law by Claudia Hagadus Long, while certainly dealing with serious issues, comes across as light hearted, with poignant and clever observations
I enjoyed reading about the daily life of a different culture. The translator, did a fantastic job at getting the spirit and atmosphere across
The author did an excellent job pulling off the dual timeline. I was surprise to learn that The Lost Apothecary is her first book
This book is brilliant, insane and twisted – a grotesque fable, sometimes funny & beautifully written. Even my daughter came to enjoy it after the first chapter
