a kafkaesque exploration of the will of man and capitalism set within a sand dune… sand is everywhere !!!!!

Nabokov’s artistic style superimposed on an insecure, self-obsessed ‘ghost’ in the mirror ….. soooo great

a reimagining of The Fall through Jungian psychology with strange bird symbolism??? my dream book!!!

i just love kunderas way of weaving his own philosophical thoughts about realism/idealism into the narrative. i still think about Teresa carrying a book under her arm.

Every single moment is actin-packed, and every single book in this series has a fantastic twist and heart wrenching moments, the conclusion of this trilogy has really yet to be topped in my eyes! This introduced me to Brandon Sanderson‘s writing and just cemented him as forever fave and immediate auto-buy author for me.

The characters (especially the dog, Beer Mug) are such a wonderful mix of likeable and easily despise-able, the world is vast and well crafted, and the stakes are so high, you have absolutely no clue. What will happen next!

Do you want your heart absolutely shattered into a million teeny tiny pieces? If yes, may I introduce you to the amazing Robin Hobb and her poor fictional child; Fitzchivalry Farseer. I love this book so much I submitted my own beaten, loved and annotated copy as part of my Masters dissertation.
