Waiting for the Flood by Alexis Hall
5.0
Received from NetGalley and Edelweiss, thanks!
I’ve read Waiting For the Flood numerous times and I was so excited to learn that it was being rereleased, along with a bonus Marius story. And, wow. Just wow. I’m so happy to be reading a new Spires story and Marius’ story is perfect. It’s beautiful and sad and made me cry. I love that there are cameos from other Spires books. Leo and his narrowboat is romantic, yet realistic, and having seen these narrowboats along the Thames in Oxford really helped bring this to life for me.
I am continually blown away by how Alexis Hall is able to write these incredibly emotional stories and how he’s able to make me care about characters I had thought terrible and irredeemable. Chasing the Light was the perfect companion to Waiting For the Flood and I am so thankful that we finally get this story.
Also, Will M Watt’s narration is absolutely superb.
