A review by repha
The Mirror Season by Anna-Marie McLemore

5.0

It's Anna-Marie McLemore, so of course this book was incredible, hard and sweet at the same time, filled with hope and hurt and pride. Of course the words and sentences were laced together in such a perfect way that it felt like you could feel them, taste them even. The magical realism feels so natural in their stories, like it is in and out of the characters at the same time, emotions made part of the world. Instead of them staying shut in, they leave on the fabric of reality the marks they cut in the main characters' hearts and flesh. It is one of the most clever, magical and sensitive way of putting feelings into a story that I ever came across.
And I could never, never recommend this book too much.
