![]() So it’s not a favourite, for that reason, but something I did enjoy reading. It’s clever, but because of the nature of the story - again, not saying too much - there’s not a lot to grab onto in terms of character, which is often how I get most hooked into a story. I’ll probably at least skim through it again and see what I can spot. Valente, 9781250816214, available at Book Depository with free delivery worldwide. Right away, you can tell something strange is going on, and it sucks you in. Not with over-the-top, pulse-pounding action, but with subtle curiosities that immediately make you question what’s going on. I feel like I’m missing a lot about how the story is put together - there’s an obvious level that is quickly apparent, of course, but I think there’s most likely a lot more that I didn’t catch onto at first. Comfort Me With Apples: My Thoughts This is one of those books that grabs you right away. Even as a very non-visual person, it always works. ![]() As you’d expect of Valente, it’s rich language with lots of descriptions, and it’s worth lingering over to let her paint the pictures for you. This is a novella which takes a number of different elements and whisks them together - and to explain too much about what exactly goes into the mix might tip you off about what’s going on in Valente’s Arcadia, so I won’t.
