ariaoffantasy 's review for:
Reverie
by Ryan La Sala
For a random book I picked up at a discount store, I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy this book as much as I did. I can see why people get Persona vibes from it. Reveries are a lot like the Palaces from Persona 5(I'm not familiar with the other games to know if they are all like that).
I'm not sure why Kane's friends refused to give him information most of the time. It seemed counter-productive and just gave him more reasons not to trust them.
Adaline had said she could unravel reveries, but she never ended up being the one to do it. I wonder if she actually can.
I think the early chapters(the rest were fine) tried a bit too hard to say Kane is gay. It felt like it was repeatedly stated for no reason. It doesn't require a lot to give that information. Sometimes less is more when letting the reader know stuff like that.
I didn't bother reading the note from the author, the reading group discussion guide, the acknowledgements, or the about the author sections.
The bonus chapter in the back is an annotated copy of chapter thirty nine with doodles. I didn't read the chapter here, but I went through and read the notes and looked at the doodles. I struggled a bit with this because with the handwriting, as a mix of printing and cursive, as well as the thickness of what looks like marker, some of the words were difficult to read. I actually couldn't figure out some of the words.
