“You know how sometimes you’ll read a great book and then it’s hard to get into anything else? You read the words, and the next book might be alright, but you’re still waiting for that great, tragic character from the last book to show up?
I think this tiny book is an awesome post-excellent read.
Not that this book isn’t also excellent. But it’s a small, contained world, and it’s divided into these small chapters so you can take breaks along the way. Everything is so vivid that you don’t have to worry about pining for the guys from the last book. The writing is strong enough that you won’t keep hearing the last writer in your head.
It’s a dubious recommendation, but trust me, it works. “
