marinerbovig 's review for:

Looking Glass Sound by Catriona Ward

I can't decide how I feel about this book.

The first 1/3 was stellar, and the twist was beautifully done. I really loved it - it could have been a novella that ended there and it would have been amazing.

The last 2/3 were either genius or way too much. It was definitely a book that went on and on several times after I would have thought it could have (should have?) ended. So that leaves me, waffling between ascribing brilliance or ineptitude to Ward for continuing on so many times. Not sure I'll decide any time soon. It's certain an exceptional book to keep me thinking about it for so long after I finished it!
