Lanny by Max Porter
4.0
The first half of the book was amazing and I was instantly drawn into the magic and oddness of the small superstitious town
About halfway through the voices of the townspeople all came together and their thoughts were shown in sentences. It get that it was important for the storytelling but it took me a while to figure out whose voice I was listening to.
The characters were really well drawn given that the paragraphs didn’t follow the usual structure. I even got a strong sense of the minor characters.
The “dream” section towards the end was a bit random and that was probably my least liked part of the story.
There were things I loved and things I didn’t get about this book.
