The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean

adventurous challenging dark medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

3.5 stars. Magic realism which is not my usual fare, but this was pretty good. The Book Eaters focuses on the Families, run by men to keep the book eaters in line. But what happens when Devon is not complacent in her life as a princess? This book deals with motherhood, patriarchy, and love, and what it might take to burn it all down in search of a new path.
