it's.....upsetting.......that the fucked-up politics of these books has only gotten more relevant with time???? :/
but also <3
oh fuck this was so good but so scary!!!! i didn't know it was going to be so scary!!!! ahh!!!
I understand that some people like scary things??? but it just kind of gives me a stomachache. But I loved all the characters and the mystery and the historical detail so much that I stuck it out through the GENUINE TERROR.
the audiobook is phenomenal too, great voices for all the characters. Highly recommended for your next 15-hour drive.
I also love the diversity, taking full advantage of the 1920s NYC setting–not just white flappers but also the Harlem Renaissance, and how those worlds do and don't interact. And also ghosts ahhhh
Also for me I thought the use of 20s slang was like, just enough, but not so much to be annoying. The cat's particulars!
a re-read; it had been awhile and i wanted to see if it was as good as i remembered. it wasn't... i remember it totally blowing my mind, and this time around it... didn't. but at one time it did, and it's still brilliant storytelling.
