Book two takes Alex Easton back home and to a whole new tale filled with lore, disbelief and a terrifying ordeal. We are pushed deeper into the characters we’ve come to love, like Ms Potter and Angus. The visuals are so good. The grandmother is such a force.
One thing I want to also cover is the diferent types of pronouns from Easton’s home of Gallacia. I thought this was brilliant and presented such a different way of understanding cultural differences and how pronouns could even be different than what we hope people use today.
Another thing that struck me as awesome is how consistent the characters are, and how different aspects of their personality come up over and over in different situations and are part of what make them so unique. And I’d be remiss to not mention the humor, sprinkled through everywhere. This agains was an absolute delight to read. This is what modern literary fiction looks like to me.
