directorpurry's review
2.0
This is a 2 star not because it was bad but because I think this book told the wrong story. As imaginative as this interpretation of Edgar Allan Poe's life was, Nola was definitely a way more interesting character, at least the way the book presented her. I wish the last 50 pages had been the bulk of the book with the previous 200+ condensed to something else - perhaps more background than main plot.
I would have enjoyed much more the alternate universe adventures of Poe and Nola rather than a slightly roundabout interpretation of most of Poe's life with also some adventure kind of slapped on at the end.
