A review by spavento
Peaces by Helen Oyeyemi

3.0

It was an odd reading experience. The events and voice of the first third really threw me off. I honestly wasn’t really enjoying it until Xavier’s story about the Go players on the train, then I enjoyed it more and more until Yuri showed up, at which point it kind of plateaued. I loved the letters when we finally got to dig into the mechanics of what was happening. So many cool things going on, I just felt kind of hampered by the rocky start. I remember thinking “Of course you’re all connected: you’re in a novel together.” I didn’t feel grounded in the beginning
