Evan Burl and the Falling, Vol. 1-2 by Justin Blaney
4.0
Evan Burl and the Falling is a whirlwind of emotions and plot, twisted into an amazing novel of suspense and magic. I don't know that I really have the words to describe this book. Just be prepared to have your feet ripped right out from underneath you.
Evan Burl thinks he's becoming a monster. In truth, he's becoming something else, a sapient, someone capable of bringing dreams, or nightmares, to life. The problem with being able to change reality? Knowing what's really real.
This book is so confusing in the best of ways. From the beginning, Evan's hallucinations start, and what's real and what's in his mind is all up for debate. And yet, it makes a beautiful sense anyway. I am sincerely impressed with [a:Justin Blaney|6477757|Justin Blaney|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1345947187p2/6477757.jpg]'s ability to pull this off and make sense of what could have easily become a jumbled mess. Instead all the narrators' questionable accuracy just upped the suspense and tension to even better levels.
I'm not even sure how to review this book without spoiling it. Just know that it is well worth the ride. I know I can't wait for book 2, because the Falling has just begun.
