I did not expect to love this book…
or even like this book
but I totally LOVED this book.
It was so interesting!
and heartbreaking.
and exhilarating!
and sad.
and exciting!
Read it. I heard people say
that they loved the movie
and it was ok
but for me, it did not match the book…
but there is so much in the book
that you couldn’t really
portray in the movie
without making it a different kind of movie,
I think.

So, I can’t lie.
This is not my usual kind of book.
It was given to me
either as part of a trade
or from the sweet woman
down the street
who randomly gave me
a laundry basket full of books.
It was cute and quick,
a relaxing sweet read…
and sometimes,
that is exactly what you need.

I loved this book.
I actually had no idea that
it was part of a trilogy until just now.
(and the truth is
I have waiting so long to write these reviews
that I am going to find it a bit of a struggle now…
hahaha. My memory is always faulty
after finishing a book…)

I’ll be honest…
this is my second time reading this book.
I enjoyed it the first time I read it
and found it helpful
in moving forward in
some areas of my life
and I found it interesting.
This time around
it didn’t do as much for me
but it might have been my frame of mind…
and COVID.
But, I’m counting it
even though it was a reread
because I need to get to
my goal of 35
and I make the rules
sooooo….

Oh, how I loved this book.
It took me a long to read it.
Not because I didn’t like it
or couldn’t get into it
or didn’t want to read it…
but because
every time I read
just a little bit of it,
it was such a smorgasbord
of pretty words and
enticing imagery,
it was like fairy tales and
the never-ending story
and poetry
all mixed together
in a visceral, visual feast…
I had to keep backing away
from the table
to digest
what I had just read.
I came across this
while I was reading the starless sea
and thought
it was perfect
for this book
because it happened to me
all the time while reading it.
There seems to be a lot of negative
review for this book,
looking for logic and answers
and meaning to the metaphors
and answers to the riddles
but I am weirdly happy to
be carried along the sea of honey
in a broken down pirate ship
with no set destination in mind…
so it’s a 5 out of 5 for me.
