so-soFull of lush, hypnotic prose and imagery both beautiful and discomforting, Valente makes no allowances for her readers; she hits hard and makes no apology. But while I adored Deathless in all its complexity, Palimpsest dragged after the first half and felt much longer than it was. Valente is a superb writer but the balance of this one wasn't right for me. #TacklingTheTBR #LRC21 #litsyteadingchallenge
saresmoore A wonderful review, as always! 7y
Moray_Reads @saresmoore Thank you! I never review on GR, it seems less open and safe than Litsy. I enjoy thinking a bit deeper that the start rating for once 7y
saresmoore I agree. I actually dislike the star rating as a rule. A book can be brilliant and I hated it or poorly written and I couldn't put it down. Stars don't reflect the subjective nature of reading. 7y
Moray_Reads @saresmoore absolutely. It's a gut thing for me but if a book is well written I feel I can't very low star rating just because I don't happen to like it 7y
