A review by illbefinealone
The Radius of Us by Marie Marquardt
5.0
Copy received through NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.
The Radius of Us is a beautiful book. The story is great, it's original and it'll capture your attention right away. The characters are amazingly developed, their interactions seem natural. But what most stood out about this book to me was the writing style. In my experience YA isn't the genre where you can encounter amazing and eloquent writing styles, so Mrs. Marquardt's way of writing surprised me, and amazed me. She has a wonderful way with words, and if the summary doesn't spark up your interest, I promise you that the wordiness of first sentence will captivate you.
P.S. Mrs. Marquardt is joining my list of authors whose style I'm jealous of. The other two authors are Serena Chase and S.Vagus. Oh, if only...
Pre-review notes:
I'm gonna need a while to stomach this. Review in a day or two (or three).
