A review by meganbatten
The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton

adventurous challenging dark mysterious tense slow-paced

4.0

i devoured this book. i haven’t read a mystery so enthralling in a very long time. it’s way cleverer than my wee little brain could completely understand (in regards to the astrological principles) but even without this, the plot stands as such an enveloping and thrilling thing. big recommendation.
