Review: I can't get over the way this author writes! It is captivating and very dream-like. The entire time, it is like floating through the main character's memories and reliving them from the outside. It's slow, but relaxing and subtle. Loved this book.
The dialogue, instead of being within quotation marks, is actually italicized so it is read as if it were a thought exchange between the characters. You don't hear a distinct voice or conversation, but more poetry like and I'm not even a big fan of poetry or verse writing. I just like this. The book was short too, so it adds to the relaxation factor. Things are happening and there is a good plot to follow, but it is all like through the main character's mind and emotional. I hope I've been able to somewhat describe it! :)
Rating: 1 2 3 4 5
This is the sequel to Green Angel, but can be read alone.
