Middlegame by Seanan McGuire
5.0
“You can't skip to the end of the story just because you're tired of being in the middle. You'd never survive.” - The overarching theme of my adolescence.
I loved every second of this novel. Flashes of reading The Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket in elementary school and falling in love with reading filled my thoughts as I devoured each page of McGuire's expert prose. It was gorgeously dark, complex, sarcastic, and wickedly witty. I could not put it down and feel empty now that it is done. MAN, this book was fantastic, and I am still in awe, completely consumed by it. This story is unlike most of the popular fiction I typically consume. And yet, I was instantly invested in the characters, magical plot, and writing. What an experience...
