As always, a copy of this book was provided by the authors in exchange for my honest review. This does not effect my opinion in any way.
Honestly, I'm breathless right now. Wow, Addie Thorley. Wow, Night Spinner. Where to start? I feel like I've just gone and run miles through an enchanted forest or something and now I have to bring myself back down to earth/reality. Something that needs to be said straight off the bat is that Night Spinner is truly a breathtaking and action packed fantasy--Thorley has crafted something that is pure magic.
She breathes new life into the story that inspired Night Spinner, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and transforms it into something new. Even if you don't enjoy the story that it is re imagining, you will devour Night Spinner.
My heart is racing a bit as I look back on the ride that is Night Spinner. Like all good retellings, it has a spark of its original story but is, ultimately, something of its own. Whiplash can be expected from its varied plot-twists. Thorley's prose is awe inducing in its vividness. Each page is full of descriptive magic and a lush landscape of mythology, world-building and romance. Night Spinner is the sort of novel that gives you an electric charge that lasts for days.
Once you pick up Night Spinner, you won't want to put it down. If you love a classic and diverse fantasy, Night Spinner is a total must-read for you. From the moment you meet the darkness that is this magical system, and the bleak and mysterious past of our lead, Enebish, you'll be engrossed in this richly drawn world.
Night Spinner is fast paced and thrilling; beautifully written and energetic. For every danger, there is a romantic turn. For every swoon-worthy exchange, there is a heart aching twinge of regret. For every revelation, there is a new question. And for the ending? There's nothing but anticipation of what could possibly come next.
In short? Addie Thorley is a total pro at weaving a story that is engrossing, romantic and intriguing. It is everything a reader could want out of a fantasy and will leave readers wanting more. Night Spinner is a surefire standout of 2020 and a definite must-read. Night Spinner is not only YA at its finest, but retellings.
Unputdownable. Breathtaking. Epic. Atmospheric. Incredible.
