The Book Eaters

This could have been a 5 star book, but it was missing...something.

The universe in this book was unique. I loved the world building and the idea that these folks live among us just undetected.

That said, it felt like there was space for depth and allegory that just got missed. I wanted more emotional investiture. There were moments that made me feel deeply moved, but those were because of my own life experiences rather than the writing.

A good book, but definitely a snack when it could have been a nutritious meal.
