Seanna Odyssey
4.25🌟
A book that takes you on a journey, through its brilliant and unique prose.
The most striking part of this book is its innovative use of perspective and prose. It's unlike anything else I've read in terms of storytelling, and can take a bit of disorientation and re-reading to grasp how the story's being told- an investment well worth it in my opinion. The prose lent itself to creating a immersive and magical reading experience that left me feeling entangled with the characters and story.
The stories of established characters and the relationships they had with themselves, each other, and the overall world/society, I found very refreshing and unique. Unfortunately the rest of the story left me slightly uninterested. The book world-builds the entire novel, which I'm personally not very keen on. During the later parts of the novel I found myself growing bored of the ever expanding world, and cast of characters that felt flat.
I would recommend this book to anyone on the prose alone, and look forward to future books from Simon Jimenez.
