A review by sassispring
The House of Discarded Dreams by Ekaterina Sedia

3.0

If you aren't a fan of fantasy, this is not the book for you. This story is pure fantasy and symbolism. It is a painting that is being created as you read, a painting that is both abstract and reality, wrapped up together. It is a hard story to explain, as it is not based on the real world yet is is symbolically representing personal journeys and family connections. It is a layered story, that goes deeper than it is written and in my opinion, the author weaves a beautiful story. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading underneath the words and loves fantasy.
