I'm not sure I've read a book quite like this before, and it is surely going to be niggling at my brain for a while. The Book Eaters alternates the history of the Six Families with present-day struggles, all within the same world that feels like it could be real. Sunyi Dean writes with such an engaging style, drawing readers in so tangibly that it's hard to put the book down.
