Welcome to Litsy!

I really wanted to love this book, and it had a good beginning. However, the author didn‘t do as well with the ending. It was well-written, yet the House of Rust didn‘t even come into play until the last 60 pages. The ending was rather ambiguous about what was going to happen. It was nice to read a fantasy set in Africa, though

I liked the first half pretty well but then it kind of meandered. I wanted to like it more than I did but had a hard time finishing it. Still very creative.

I'm going to try this magic realism novel I picked up at a Free Little Library in the area. I am not always into this type but I'll see how it goes. I will find out something about the Hadrami culture looks like.
