chillysea 's review for:
The West Passage
by Jared Pechaček
Probably the weirdest book I’ve read all year. It felt like the bizarreness of Alice in Wonderland x Adventure Time if they had a bit more eldritch horror and societal decay.
We follow two young people from Grey Tower on their various journeys to save their home. The story exists to build the world around the characters, and I felt no particular strong feelings toward anyone we’re introduced to. Characters are what I usually care the most about in a book, but I didn’t find that to be detrimental to this one. The world that’s described is simply so fantastical and strange that it carried me through to the end.
It’s a great palate cleanser if you feel like you’ve been reading a lot of the same stories; I can almost guarantee this will not feel like that.
