A review by librarianlayla
The Lord of the Sabbath by Mariana Palova
4.0
I was lucky enough to be sent an eARC of this story through NetGalley, for an honest review.
A fast paced mix of folklore and cultures. Dark, raw and filled with the unknown.
I don't think I've ever seen such a mix of New Orleans voodoo, Native American spiritualism coupled and Hinduism. There is so much rich history interwoven into this one story.
I am always fascinated by New Orleans and the atmosphere that it creates. And I've always been interested in Native American beliefs. So I knew that this story of self discovery would really speak to me.
If I had anything negative to say it would be that it can sometimes be confusing as to whose voice you're reading. The story is told from multiple view points but all of them are in first person. Therefore it is a little hard to understand who's viewpoint you're reading from until several pages into a chapter. But this could be down to it being translated from Spanish to English, I'm not 100% sure.
The way it is written could easily be translated to screen and I feel that a TV adaptation would do this fantastic story, justice.
A wild ride from start to finish.
