A review by popestig
Elysium by Jennifer Marie Brissett

4.0

This is a book that sets its aim firmly at clever, tricksy and ambitious and doesn't hit too far off the mark. I does rely on the reader piecing together the pieces of the puzzle and that is not a style I normally enjoy and when finished, I didn't get that lovely "yay, jigsaw"-feeling you're supposed to get when solving a puzzle.

The writing itself is occasionally very pretty, and the style occasionally very elegant - so even if I did not entirely fall for the characters, it was still a worthwhile read.

I think some readers will fall hard for this book and will frequently re-read it.
