It’s been a long time since I read Shiver, so I was taken by surprise by the gorgeous, lyrical nature of the language of this. The characters are so nuanced and fully fleshed-out that it feels like they’re real and I’ve met them. The magic is strange and unexplained like the magic in The Ocean at the End of the Lane, which is one of my favorite books of all time, so I loved it. The world building is rich. I feel like I could sink into this book and never come out. The audiobook narrator is spectacular. I’m only disappointed that I can’t read book two until LIS 722 is over.
