Never-Contented Things
by Sarah Porter
Never Contented Things is probably one of the most polarizing books I've ever read. Either readers are going to love it or hate it, so I'm actually surprised I fall in the middle. Easiest way to review this novel is to break it down into likes and dislikes.
Things I Liked:
The writing is beautiful: I loved the flowery, over descriptive paragraphs.
The hopeful message: At the core of the story is the idea that no matter what we have all gone through, we could find a way to survive.
The diverse characters: The characters are gender fluid with complex romantic attachments.
The cover: So beautiful!
Things I Disliked:
Lack of fairies: Took way too long for the fae to make their first appearance.
Sibling relationship: The ick factor was off the charts on that one.
Lack of action: The blurb fooled me into thinking this would be a fast-paced YA fantasy and it's not at all.
3/5 stars and a thanks to the publisher for an advanced copy for review.
