Red Clocks by Leni Zumas
3.0
The writing style for this book lands somewhere between contemporary prose and classical literature.
Unfortunately, those are two things I happen to detest.
The concept of the book is wonderful, and plotlines well thought-out and crafted. I will say this is one of the more "literary" books I've read in years, which could attest to why I struggled with it. If you've lived on a diet of cookies and chocolate, who the hell wants brussel sprouts?
By the end of the book, one could say I acquired a taste of it. Still, I think I might run back to my favorite fantasy books, topped with sprinkles.
