Extremely brave account of weight and trauma
Roxane Gay's deeply moving, hard-hitting biographical account of rape and its consequences is harrowing and triggering. The profound impact it had on her life goes to explain all her decision making as a result. Not to explain away her feelings of her weight, but it shows a small tenet of how trauma can have such devastating results. It can be a little repetitive from a literary perspective but it's well worth all the kudos.

I really struggled with the second age books. This, the first volume, takes some time getting used to, moving from a more traditional fantasy setting into something of a Western setting. The magic system has changed somewhat due to what happened in the first trilogy, so it is good to see how a character with access to only one metal's power compares.
A good book on its own, if you can handle the western setting, but nothing compared to the first age trilogy.

Lovely film about a gifted child whose genius mother committed suicide and who is now being raised by her uncle. He is trying to give her a normal childhood but this is then challenged in court by her grandmother who wants to gain custody and make the child an academic. What follows is an emotional tale, with the uncle questioning his ability to bring up the child and wanting to do the right thing for her. Brilliantly acted throughout. Moving and thought-provoking.

OMG, what an amazing story, I was up reading long into the night. This is a heart breaking, moving and powerful story. The characters were so well written, they had intense chemistry but also so much more. This book will have you laughing and crying all the way through, definitely an emotional roller coaster of a ride. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.



Highly recommended

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book
