necropolis 's review for:

American Elsewhere by Robert Jackson Bennett
5.0
adventurous challenging dark mysterious reflective tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

WOW this book was tremendous. it was an exceptional world to get lost in. i came to love the main character a lot and i wanted to cry when her story wrapped up. what a beautiful piece of fiction.

i wanted to rate it 4.5 because of the grooming plotline, but it deserves 5. i think that was handled about as well as it could be, but it really didn’t sit well with me. but again, american elsewhere deserves the five stars for being genuinely frightening, beautiful, rich, mystical, and touching.
