Reverie

This book was messy.

In many ways I think that was intentional. The very nature of the ‘reveries' in the book are messy and the perspective Kane has of everything, coming from someone with amnesia, would also make it a lot more confusing.
But at the same time, I simply don't think this book was executed particularly well. It was a really interesting premise with some great characters and cool settings, but the way it was executed kind of fell short of what it could have been. I feel like this is one of those books that if it would've just been a bit longer then the story could have been told far, far more cleanly. We could have dived into Kane's memory loss and how it affected him more, had Eliot be a more prominent member of the Others, rather than getting completely left behind by Usula and Adeline. We could have gone into Kane and Dean's relationship more, so the reveal of Dean not actually being a real person could have held more weight, and we could have given more time to Poesy, to actually understand who the hell she is?

The thing is, I loved this book. The premise was great, basically everything about this book was so cool and interesting; I just wish it had been executed better so that instead of a confusing mess, we could've had a clear and interesting story with no loose ends.
So, I'd definitely recommend this book, but it certainly has its flaws.
