I don't believe in God but I would believe in any saint of Our Lady of Grackles. A five star rating. Dark themes, but a heck of a lot of humor and found family. I listened to the book and that bummed me out because listening was too slow. Reading would have been faster and I just wanted to know what was happening next.
I particularly liked The Goblin Market, with its wares, payment in days of your life and the value of a nun's tooth. Not to mention that BoneDog can have a playdate at the dog park with my dog!
Pick this book up and make room for this family because you will be wanting to adventure with them again.
Read it, decide for yourself if the emotional toll is worth the ending. I found myself thinking it was too soon after Covid because we really haven't collectively grieved it...we just went to our sides and dug in or put our head in the sand. I didn't care for the ending and felt like it cheapened the story. I still recommend you read it.
I was inspired to write this review in memory of Jenny (Reading Envy) Colvin.
This is tale told of a thousand years lived and also yet a lunch you may share with your friend tomorrow. The theme of family and what represents family balanced against the capitalistic greed of a future that awaits mankind.
The world building is solid and it is worth a read if you want you sci-fi served up with less violence and more thought and dare I say feels.
