The Gracekeepers by Kirsty Logan
2.0
The story is a nice and creative idea but I didn't like the realization of it that much. It ended very abruptly and a lot of loose ends weren't tied up..
Also, all the male characters in this book are insane. Like literally insane. They all have some serious problems. There was a single one likeable male character and he only gets one chapter or so in the whole book. I think it's very unfortunate that the author decided to depict the male characters the way she did. Actually, now that I think about it.. The female characters are insane as well. Callanish and North are okay, apart from one of them living alone in a house in the middle of the ocean, plus sleeping with random guys, and the other one having a bear for a best friend. The rest of the women in this book are either quite literally mentally ill or selfish to a point of madness and unreasonable/preposterous behavior.
The more I think about it, the more I dislike this book.. I love fantasy novels and creativity and all that jazz but honestly.. this was just too much. It was very awkward to read.
