A Song for Ella Grey by David Almond
2.0
The writing in this book was truly beautiful. The story however, outside of the myth itself, sort of didn't come together. I struggled to get through it, parts not really making too much sense.
I feel as if it just needed a really good proof read, someone to say "and how did it get there" or "explain more". There were points where it said one thing only for a line or two later it repeated the exact same thing or took it back - outside of the poetic license. And then there was one character who's name was spelled two different ways and left me wondering which was which until I realized that it had to be the same character.
The writing was beautiful, I will say that. I had so many hopes for this book because of it, but it just didn't stick and left me disappointed over the whole thing.
