The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton
4.0
It’s been a long time since I read a novel targeting the adults, so I’m finding it quite difficult at first to get used to the more advanced vocabularies and her writing style—I kept having to search meaning of certain words in order to understand the story, something that I haven’t done in a while because I have been reading mostly YA books.
~Page 81:
It’s getting interesting. I’m getting through the story faster than I expected I would.
~Page 521:
The pacing got slower and the story got confusing for a while but then it was recapped by one of the characters, which really helped me understand the story.
Now it’s getting more and more interesting to me.Such a convoluted plot.
I didn’t think that the story would wrapped up nicely like this(there are some mysteries unexplained but I’m fine with drawing my own conclusions). Eleanor Catton is a genius!
