A review by wendylioness
The Book of Atrix Wolfe by Patricia A. McKillip
4.0
I won't give away the plot for those of you who want to be surprised. (: This is a 200 page story about a few elements consisting of sorrow, truth, and guilt. I understood the points of the book better when I finished it, so I may have to go back and read the book again sometime. The writing was descriptive, a little hard to understand in two or three little places, but beautiful. The ending was satisfying enough, realistic and healing.
Overall the story had a mystery and uniqueness about it, having a bit of a fairy-tale flavor.
This book invites us to think, if we're willing to, of quite a few things. But I want you to discover them yourself, as a journeyer through a story.
I like the character interactions, and near the end one of them made me grin.
It's a little sad but there is healing as well.
Now I'm off to read Les Miserables, The Book of Three, or the Canterbury Tales. Not sure which one yet.
