fallingletters 's review for:
Isis
by Douglas Clegg
Quick review originally posted on 5 May 2013 at Falling Letters.
I read this book around 11PM during the Spring 2013 Dewey's 24-Hour Read-a-thon, after I came home from a going away party. It turned out to be a great way to cap off the event! Really a short novella, it's a creepy little tale told in what I consider to be a traditional storytelling style, just the kind of story I adore - I loved how it got darker and darker, and how the relationship between the brother and sister was always a little unnerving, bordering on incest but not quite.
The illustrations are also really lovely! Some repetition throughout the book (I've never understood why repeating an image is a thing :/) but very pretty all the same.
