A review by drmuenke
The Island of Excess Love by Francesca Lia Block

2.0

I struggle to review this book. As a stand-alone I would have liked it much more, but as the second book in a duology, it didn’t work for me. The first book follows Homer’s Odyssey and this mirrors Virgil’s Aeneid. Shifting the characters roles from the Odyssey to the Aeneid didn’t fit. It left me wishing they would have been separate books with separate characters.
