Chapel of Ease by Alex Bledsoe
4.0
Alex Bledsoe is a damn genius. With each book, he continues to evolve this world, by taking it in places I never would have thought could work. These books are funny, touching, heartbreaking, and poignant, all at the same time. They are simply works of art. I find myself captivated by the prose, not able to put the book down until I'm done.
This book was different from his other Tufa novels. With the ending of the last book, I figured it would be a heavy novel talking about ramifications and focusing inward. Instead, out of nowhere, we get a first person book about a New York actor?
Part of me was disappointed at the start, not starting in Needsville, but then I read page 3 and all my fears were whisked away. The story simply flowed, like a river trickling through the hills, and before I knew it, I was done (and already longing for more).
I can't say enough about how much I love these books. They're not books that I traditionally would think of reading, let alone enjoying, but I am damn glad that I took the chance. Can't wait for the next 2, especially the epic 6th one!!
