Looking Glass Sound
by Catriona Ward
This was my third read from Catriona Ward and my second five-star book from her! I am absolutely captivated by Ward's writing style and unique concepts, and Looking Glass Sound blew me away!
Looking Glass Sound is a slow, haunting story that creeps up on you, and it's far more character-driven than plot-driven, so readers beware if that is not your preferred style. I went into this story unsure of what to expect so I was just letting the story unravel before me and it was a spell-binding experience.
The story teeters on the edge of the real and surreal, which creates an atmosphere of tension and unease that continues to build with the story. By the end, you start to put together the main themes Ward is tackling with Looking Glass Sound and it leads to some really intriguing discussions around authorship and the craft of writing. I can't wait to see what Ward does next!
