skittles0313 's review for:
Deep Secret
by Diana Wynne Jones
i am having SUCH a time. i love love love dwj so much it's a little wild lol
this is no HMC and no chrestomanci. i would hesitate to call it a middle grade novel by any means solely bc of some of the things in here. but by GOD if it isn't dwj!!! it's not her best work maybe but i was just sitting there like "YEP this is definitely dwj!" and i am still bewildered by Certain Events but it is how it be. every single moment in the last few chapters was whiplash after whiplash im surprised my neck is still on. im so glad my roommate left the room right before i got to the babylon part because everything after that was me making concerning faces and talking aloud to myself
anyway like, what the HECK!! cant believe this all happened during a SF/F FAN CONVENTION!! actually nvm i can in fact believe that that was the most believable part of the book tbh. sounds about right. i think the single most insane reveal was Zwhatsherface in the end bc i was like LMAO UH OH it was so leftfield and unrelated but concerning. also, Andrew. because Of Course. everything else was just like FASTPACED INSANITY BREATHING ROOM WHO LOL?? ??/
i genuinely think the centaur stitching up part was more intense than any fight scene in any fantasy novel. I was so deeply stressed just reading that.
but of course, Babylon. yep. bc nursery rhymes do be like htat.
not terribly sure what i completely think of most of th echaracters bc i can NEVER pin down dwj's characters just because they are Like That and that is the whole deal about them. however i did like them and their selfish stubbornness... all of them. i did really want to punch rupert several times. the whole brothers-as-magids thing was extremely funny tbh i love sibling dynamics in stories. dwj's romances are always so There but not Actually in which i pretty much know exactly who is with who but everytime im like how is this going to happen??? and thne it does and im like HA!!! dwj strikes again!!! (hmc taught me well) (i love punctuation marks sometimes im 11 and not 19 again)
anyway i really REALLY do have to do homework but it is not getting done bc i'm thinking about reading the other magids book now loolllll i really have got to go do my readings for next week i didn't have friday or yesterday to do it bc of home show and i chose to read this wheni woke up today (very late bc of how incredibly sleep deprived i am) instead of my hoemwork thumbsup... gotta go back down to the barn in a couple hours AGAIN too and it's RAINING!!
