Welcome

Welcome to my train of thought. Just a warning, there might be turbulence. I'm a little eccentric, but hopefully you'll find something here that'll make the crazy worth it. Stay tuned for book reviews, ramblings on random things, and all sorts of stuff that tickles my fancy. But keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times. My brain is a scary place!

Review: The Bookshop Below

The Bookshop Below The Bookshop Below by Georgia Summers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thanks to Netgalley and Orbit for the pre-release copy of The Bookshop Below by Georgia Summers. Below is my honest review.

I absolutely loved the magical undercurrents (you'll see what I did there when you read this one) in this lovely novel about supernatural bookshops full of books that can do all sorts of fantastical things. I also really enjoyed the characters in this one, especially Lowell. The more you get to know them, the more you love (or in some cases, hate) them. Cassandra grew on me, but she wasn't my favorite protagonist.

My biggest complaint is that the whole "secret identity as a thief" thing was a bit silly... I mean, her name is Cassandra Fairfax and her thief identity is named... Cass? Really?

All in all, I really liked the book, and I very much want to go to one of these magical bookshops and take a gander at the River.

Four stars, and definitely recommended for fans of magical realism, magical books, dark-academia-adjacent books.
