A review by emilyrosebooks
A Short Walk Through a Wide World by Douglas Westerbeke

adventurous dark mysterious reflective slow-paced

2.5

OK I loved the concept and enjoyed the first half of the book, but then it digressed with this sorta unexplained and anti-climactic conversion of the "libraries" and the puzzle ball, and I can't even decide if it is a happy ending because it feels like the explanation of the place is the start of a whole new story. Wanted to love it but it lost me.
