This was so good. Oh my gosh, it literally felt like a warm blanket. It was gentle.
I tried to read one book a day for a week...will I make it? π«£π
If you said Eleanor Olaf is completely fine, you are correct. That book changed my life.
The Gothic vibes were so cool. It was definitely giving like Tim Burton. But my problem was because the book was so short, it was like 122 pages.
And I think that stuff like that and stuff like this, these types of books are so necessary because it makes us more empathetic if this is not something that we deal with and it helps create the change that she wants to see and other people want to see. So I highly recommend this book. I thought it was really good.
If you read If We Were Villains, you already know her writing is dark, moody, and just unmatched. The style is unmatched.
The way that it was written was very unique and it was more of a rambling of thoughts and progressive feelings of this character than a coherent story, and it was very hard to follow at times. So, I did see what the author was trying to do, but unfortunately it just didn't land that way for me.
It was so thoughtprovoking and just deeply moving. I didn't want to rush through it. So, it did take me longer to read it, but I personally think it was worth it.
Now, I will say comparatively I do like the first one better than this one, but this one was still so enjoyable. I ended up giving it a four star and it follows the same main character from the last book, but he's in a new unique situation.
This is the second book to the What Moves the Dead series and that's a book that I read last year and absolutely enjoyed.
