See allThis is probably my favorite book series I have read in a very long time. The prose and plot really captivated me. A story about telling stories is one of my favorite literary devices.
All this is shadowed by how devastated I am upon learning that the third book will likely never come out. Like a punch to the gut.
A profoundly interesting and thought provoking read. It was a really entertaining experience to slowly start to understand what is going on as you work through the way the book is structured. It's one of those books I wish I could forget reading just so that I could read it again for the first time.
I mostly liked this, but the ending was a let down. The first 75% of the book was really strong, I love a story that tells sub stories. The last quarter felt rushed and a bit wishy washy in how certain plot devices worked. I get that endings are hard, but considering that this was such a short book I would have expected the end to be a bit more satisfying. I have only read Hamiltons works and I could feel his influence here, not sure of the other author.
