![]() ![]() At one point, the author described a cellphone and personal assistant (like Siri) to explain what they were and how they were used. ![]() The characters would say things that didn't exactly make sense with their characters or with the audience. ![]() The downside of this novel was some of the author's choices. If anyone gets a similar vibe or can pick out why it is different, I'd love your thoughts. I think I am used to long paragraphs of description, and this book focused more on short bursts of description with lots of internal (and external) dialog. I can't put my finger on exactly how it felt different from other novels I have read. It took me a little bit to adapt to the structure of the story. First, I want to say that the book had some great elements: folktales, a loving atmosphere for the reflective world to take on life, charming characters, a way to look at oral story-telling in the present day, and a gentle dose of non-binary love. I really liked this book, but it did have a rough beginning and some rough portions in the middle. ![]()
