Reread Thoughts
Most books from my adolescence haven’t aged that well but I glad this one is still an excellent book even after the veneer of childhood fantasies has worn off. This time I paid more attention to the writing and the world building and I found nothing to criticise. Shocker. It has the simplicity of language of YA/Middle grade read and yet it also feels like a classic. I am always amazed by authors who are skilled in brevity especially cause my writing style is meandering on for far too long.
