The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez
4.75
adventurous challenging dark hopeful reflective sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
Amazing epic with a unique storytelling approach. We observe most of the adventure through the reenactment of events on a stage set in a dreamscape. I loved the play between narrative perspectives and almost meta aspect of telling a story within a story. Queer (m/m) representation and truly the only reason it wasn’t a 5 is that I think some of the descriptions were too intense for me. Otherwise 5 star book, highly recommend for a new epic adventure.
