Caging Skies
by Christine Leunens
I'm not sure how I feel about this book. Any dark humor that was in it went well over my head so that the story was just dark. Caging Skies is like a horror novel written from the point of view of the monster, but the monster is human, and sometimes those are the worst kind.
Observations and certain lines were eloquently rendered, but at the same time, I found myself so horrified by the protagonist and his rationalizations that some portions were hard to read. My reactions ranged from being intrigued by the character study the author presented to becoming positively appalled by the character himself.
The story does not arc upward toward a path of redemption; rather it spirals downward into the selfishness of evil. It was a hard book to read.
