megmatthias 's review for:

Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan

5.0

---

UNSPOKEN is a Gothic novel of modern proportions. There is magic and romance and actually hilarious dialogue, and there's definitely something hiding in hulking manor on the edge of town. Brennan explores old and new Gothic tropes and makes them into something fresh and innovative. Kami Glass is a compelling and funny narrator, equally intent on saving the world and becoming a Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist. UNSPOKEN is heart-wrenching and funny and wonderful, and certainly deserves a spot in the canon of Gothic literature.

For fans of Holly Black's THE COLDEST GIRL IN COLDTOWN, Cassandra Clare's THE CLOCKWORK ANGEL, and Brennan's THE DEMON'S LEXICON.
