Theatre of Glass and Shadows
by Anne Corlett
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
The Theatre of Glass and Shadows tells the story of a young woman who is trying to find the place she belongs and get some answers about her past. The setting feels magical and as soon as we got to the theatre district, the labyrinthine 24hr immersive theatre show, I was drawn into the story and couldn’t put it down. It isn’t all fantastical though, at its heart there is a mystery which I found intriguing and the way the theatre district has been imagined, I could completely believe that a place like that could exist - maybe with a little suspending disbelief that there would be a part of London where the police have no control! I liked Juliet, the main character, and although she seemed naive or even selfish at times, I could really empathise with her and understand why she made some of the decisions she did. I thought the plotting of the book was well paced, and when I picked it up I found myself reading ‘just one more chapter…’, which is not something I feel often.
I was given the chance to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review. This is my first ARC, so I am glad I enjoyed it so much!! Many thanks to the publishers.
