The Memory Theater

Average rating3.9
This is like...a very dark fairy tale. That's what I really enjoyed - the dark spin in psychotic fairies and classic tales like Peter Pan/Neverland. I will say this book employs a lot of metaphors that often felt a bit jarring in their execution and were hard to picture, so if you're the kind of reader easily bugged by that stuff, I would give you a fair warning. Wasn't enough to put me off - I still very much enjoyed this one - it was just noticeable.
3.5 rounded down.
The book has its moments and it's not bad but the way it was told made it so I never really got invested into the characters and even when tragic things happened to them it was like “oh ok” and it probably didn't help that it largely seemed like it was also how Dora felt.
