I really liked the cover art of this book. I’m not going to lie – that’s what initially drew me in. Then I realized that it’s by the same gal who wrote The Time Travelor’s Wife, which I very much enjoyed. Time Travelor’s Wife is a better story than this one, but this one isn’t particularly bad. It’s just weird. Weird in a way that I just kept waiting for something to happen. And it really, just, well, didn’t. The characters are all a bit strange and I kept thinking while I was reading the book that they were going to surprise me, that something they did was going to make me say, “whoah!” But it never did. These strange characters were strangely predictable.
I can’t really give this book a glowing review, but I can’t exactly give it a negative one either. I would suggest you read it. If you liked Time Travelor’s Wife and the fantasy-type world that it painted, then you may enjoy this book. It’s got some of the same elements – things that are unbelieveable but you believe them as the basis for the story.
