“One minute I like Calamity, the next I can't stand her and don't want to finish the book. I made it through it. There are questions left unanswered and that always drives me crazy.”
“3.5*
This was such a fun, creative story.
The characters were well fleshed out and interesting to read from, and were probably the strongest feature of this book. Maybe there were too many of them for a story with a relatively small scope, but I liked our MC Calamity - she is a strong character with a strong voice and she's wrestling with her breadth of life experiences after the loss of her father, etc etc. She's extremely flawed, in a way that's enjoyable to follow.
But, this book just did too much, and felt like it should have been a first book in a series. It could have been just as interesting with one of the major plotlines removed, and ended up being much less muddled. It is a character study, small community study, treatise on grief, fantasy novel and magical realism novel. I really loved all the components but did not get enough from any of them.”
