alicia_toothman 's review for:
The Remaking
by Clay McLeod Chapman
I really loved the beginning where the old man, sitting around the campfire, is telling the story that has defined his life.
I could clearly picture him in my head, hear his voice, and was entrapped in his dialogue.
The story of Ella Louise and Jessica Ford tore at my heartstrings. “Kill the witch” stories always do. When an innocent child is involved, it hurts even more. Add in a child kept from their mother in the afterlife? Tears were shed.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the MC, Amber. She let her life spiral into oblivion while fighting against her fame, fans, and any chance she had of moving forward in the industry.
I feel like if she would’ve just helped when she was called to, things would’ve turned out differently for her.
Actually, I can’t say there really were many character I liked. Liking the characters isn’t the point though. Loving the story is what matters and that I did!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Clay has a perfectly attuned knack for writing in the voice of his characters. This applies to both their inner and outer monologue. Shifting from one character to the next, you instantaneously know it’s a different person. That doesn’t only apply to The Remaking but also to Ghost Eaters and What Kind of Mother.
There’s a reason he’s one of my favorite authors and this is just one of them.
