Elysium by Jennifer Marie Brissett

4.0

Well, I guess it was okay in the end. But be warned: it's kinda wacky. 😃 There's a man and a woman. Suddenly, both of 'em are men, and one of them is dying. Then they get back to being a man and a woman. Sometimes they switch several times in a single scene. One of them is hallucinating animals, when he/she isn't dying. Then there are modern-times ancient-roman-goddess worshippers, who are sometimes maybe aliens? Then they're both women again. Then one is pregnant and dying. Everyone's name starts with an A - there's Antoine, Antoinette, Adrian and Adrianne... Sometimes they're siblings. All of them die several times. Then they have a son, name him Antoine. It's quite a ride.

I mean... it does make _some_ kind of sense at the end, at least the important bits do. But if I weren't amused and looking forward to the next crack thing that'll happen, I'm not sure I'd like it quite as much. Basically, my mindset was: "Oh, so the Vestal Virgins are aliens now? Heck, at this point, why not"

YMMV. 😃
