A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid

4.0

---

This was beautiful. And melancholy. And incredibly clear and incredibly perplexing at the same time. And even having finished it, I don’t actually know if the narrator was reliable or not. I’ve heard it compared to the movie Labyrinth, and while there are some motifs I think they have in common, if I were making a comparison I would probably say a mix of Jane Eyre, the Letters of Enchantment duology, and the poetry of Yeats.

I don’t know how to feel about the fact that we got answers to pretty much everything, but at the same time feel like we got no answers at all.

This will not be a book for everyone, but for the right reader, I definitely think it will be one that stays with you.
