A review by bookalong
Ring by André Alexis
4.0
A lovely mix of romance, mythology, and magic!
Ring is the final installment of André Alexis quincunx series, other titles include Pastoral, Fifteen Dogs, The Hidden Keys, and Days by Moonlight. (I have not read these yet) Now I'm not usually a fan of romantic storylines but this sounded so interesting that I wanted to give it a try and I'm so glad I did!
Set in Toronto, Ring is the story of Gwen who after falling for her beloved, Tancrid is given a magical ring by her mother that is believed to grant three wishes to change her beloved.
This was wonderfully imagined and unique! Though tough to sum up, i'm still ruminating all this genre-bending novel is trying to achieve. Alexis is wonderful at developing characters and making them believable and has obvious talent with language use. I'm looking forward to Alexis's other books, I have a feeling they will be just as contemplative. If your looking for something a little different definitely give this author a try!
Thank you to @coachhousebooks for sending me this one, opinions are my own.
