The Blue, Beautiful World by Karen Lord
3.75
This was fascinating and unexpected. Since I picked this up due to it being longlisted by the 2024 Women's Prize for Fiction, I didn't realize that it was actually third in a series. I had read that it could read as a standalone and I decided to give it a try.
The concepts of this book are so different from things I've previously read and I'm intrigued. I do think while I didn't need the other two books to follow the story, I think I was missing a lot of the depth that I could tell was there but I couldn't fully appreciate. I will definitely be picking up the other two books at some point and then rereading this again. I couldn't fully tell if this was the last book of a trilogy or if there is more to come. I feel like there is so much of this world left to explore so I'm excited to delve deeper.
