Palimpsest by Catherynne M. Valente
5.0
I don't think I really have words for how much I loved this story. Valente is some sort of lyrical genius and I want to listen to it again because the reader: Aasne Vigesaa is amazing.
If you have ideas about what fantasy literature is supposed to be like, this story is going to challenge them. If you have ideas about what romantic literature should be like, this story will challenge that too. I know that this story gets some negative comments due to the nature of Valente's sort of a dreamy, poetic writing style, but I can't think of a better way to introduce Palimpsest really. And audiobook might be the best way to go. Just so much love.
