The Book of M by Peng Shepherd
4.0
This hurt.
None of it was how I expected, especially the end. This book made me think a LOT--how would I react if this was my world this happened to? What would I do if my boyfriend lost his shadow? What would we think and do, how would we survive? It also made me reflect on how much memory serves to form who we are, at our core.
The way these characters lost those they loved really hurt me too. Finding out who the Red King was had me gasp out loud. The ending, too--I see why Shepherd did it. And everything about The One Who Gathers was so fascinating.
To sum it all up, everything hurts but I'm happy I read it. This was honestly a really good and interesting read although a little long. 4/5 stars!
