Bill doesn't just write, no, he weaves words into an tapestry of imagery that feeds the hunger of my soul.
As someone who suffers from anxiety this book resonated with me in a lot of ways. I can't wait to get my hands on the next one!

I love the concept of this book! The whole "misery made into magic" concept really drew me in.
My favourite part of the book was the prose. It was beautifully written. I enjoyed the meandering descriptions, metaphors and imagery. There was no time wasted on bland descriptions of places or people. This approach worked as it left time to focus on what William was going through (which was also well written).
"The mind is where Heaven and Earth meet," he continues, raising a hand out of the shadow to tap his temple. "All concepts, innovations and divinations start right here. God, time travel, supernatural abilities, new inventions, poetry, relationships, and emotions maintain a suggestible existence. b>
A great read - I'm looking forward to the next book

Mental illnesses sometimes make you feel like you're living in this space between magic and madness, and Misfortunism explores that space beautifully. The concept is really fascinating. Also, it's very pleasing to see Grahamstown/Makanda in the book and consider the town and Rhodes University as a site of magic. My only qualm is that I wish the book were longer! I'll definitely be buying the next book in this series.
