My partners favorite book, and I can see why. The writing is beautiful. To be seen by this author is to be loved. The imagery is so clear and evocative, fantastical but grounded. The story is smaller and grander at the same time. The book focuses on places drenched in relationships and the complexities of both. The psychology of Gatsby is at once rare and relatable. To long for something and build a life around it, a mask, a yearning, anything desperate to be unlost. The ending took me by such complete surprise and shock. I couldn't wait to finish the story and stayed up late needing to know it's outcome. The beauty and tragedy of longing to feel known.

I really enjoy the night watch and its new recruits, enjoying a silly murder mystery. Many things are lining up to be interesting after this. May be my fav book in the series so far

Found this book at random and very glad I did. A colorful vivid exploration of the shore/swamp life in historic America, a woman with intelligence far beyond the imagination of her judgemental town-dwellers... and a murder. I couldn't put it down, inside the mind of someone misunderstood and craving what every human craves... I guess I could relate in ways. It is very human, and thus holds cruelty. Especially towards the unknown. But the plot resolves itself in a believable and satisfying way. My favorite aspect of the story was the way in which our main character felt and described her feelings vividly.

Some of the books in this series, your understanding ebbs and flows. But in Guards Guards, the characters all stand out on their own, the pace and plot makes total sense, the overwhelmed and astounding emotions between witty bewilderment, even the magical L space all stayed with me and made sense and came to a satisfying end that I did not predict. Best so far

I read this in high school, and I've kept my book for years. It often comes to mind when I contemplate what my favorite book is. There is something about the descriptive imagery in so many scenes, and the way the emotions are so intensely felt and described by the main character that stuck with me. The settings are vivid in my mind, the twists and pulls of emotion through her journey and how she learns new things and grows and changes, as well as those around her... It's absolutely wonderful. Heartbreaking and vivid and beautiful.
