The Book Eaters was a pleasant read from start to finish. There’s very little fantasy books set in the North of England, with the most popular sticking to the London roots instead, so it was nice to have an author take an interest for their book to be set in Newcastle for the majority of the story. The level of queerness throughout the book was also very refreshing, and being on the asexual spectrum myself, I really appreciated the asexual representation. The characters were also a pleasant read, nothing too perfect, and I really appreciated the themes of fairy tales featured throughout the novel. Will definitely be reading more by Sunyi Dean.
