Seraphina's Lament by Sarah Chorn

5.0

Potential best book of the year

Wow! I was desperate to read every single word that Sarah wrote in this novel. It is only March and I've read some great books this year, but this could far and away be the best book I read this year. Sarah has edited some of these great books and from her writing I can see why people utilise her services. Her writing was phenomenal, the language so powerful and evocative.
I wish that there was a date for the sequel so that I could throw inordinate amounts of money straight into her bank account. Thankfully she has a complete trilogy that is apparently insanely amazing, I'm off to see straight away how this compares to that series.
Never before have I read a story with this many points of view that so effortlessly kept the story progressing without hiccups or boredom. I don't care which character you name, they were all my favourite.
What could the potential future hold for these characters? I MUST know. Give me Seraphina, give me Mouse, give me the Bone Lord. My gosh, give me more of this desolate world and let me see how anyone recovers from the disastrous events that just unfolded.
I also read this book in 2 days because I cold NOT put it down.
