We Were Restless Things by Cole Nagamatsu

3.0

This is a hard review to write. This was a very long book. And at first, I wasn’t quite sure if I’d be able to really get into it. So I went and checked the reviews on Goodreads to see what other people were thinking. It seems a lot of people weren’t the biggest fans of it. As I kept reading it did get better. I think that third person often takes a bit for me to get into. But if the writing is good and the story is good, then I can get into it and continue and enjoy it. There was a lot of uniqueness in this one. A lot of really cool imagery and settings. I think it is important that there was a asexual character in it, and reading about her and how she felt about things was really interesting.

Definitely a unique book. I gave it 3.5 stars, because of the interesting aspects and that even after that beginning, and how long it was, it kept me reading and interested every time I picked it up. Not sure how often I would recommend it to students unless I knew they were big readers and wanted to read things like that, so that’s why it got a lower rating.
