Eye of the Ouroboros by Megan Bontrager
4.0
At its core, Eye of the Ouroboros is an emotional journey about relationships, and the lengths we'll go for the ones we love. Theo, our deeply flawed and relatable main character, is willing to leap through tears in the fabric of reality if it means a chance at finding her missing sister, Flora. Theo's lifetime best friend Quinn and ex-girlfriend Delilah tag along for the wild ride, giving us a deeper look into Theo's life and the few relationships she's been able to maintain between her obsessive search for Flora, work as a park ranger, broken ties with her parents, and drinking habit.
Bontrager's writing is rich and descriptive, even if the world building left me a bit confused at times. There are still some questions I'd love answers to, but I think that was by design- the narrative seems to purposefully keep you guessing, right up through the end. Eye of the Ouroboros is as heartbreaking as it is heartwarming, and definitely one I'd recommend if you're looking for an emotional, queer, horror/sci-fi read. Thanks to NetGalley for the Advance Reader Copy of this book.
