"The three suns hanging on a chain about his throat tried to gleam, but the clouds in the crying sky told them no."

I didn't finish it

"Mia sighed. Took her temper by the earlobe and pulled it to heel."

The girl felt the words in her chest. In the deepest, darkest place, where the hope children breathe and adults mourn withered and fell away, floating like ashes on the wind.

If her face were a puzzle, most would put it back in the box, unfinished.

Something had followed her from that place. The place above the music where her father died. Something hungry. A blind, grub consciousness, dreaming of shoulders crowned with translucent wings. And she, who would gift them.

If I were to write a review in the style of this book, it would begin something like this:. Judge away, O readers, judge away, but I could not force myself through.. I was so freaking bored. And I had to go read the blurb to remind myself what the book was about. Nevernight is so difficult to get through that I got to a point where I was just counting the pages until I could return to Tana French. Ulysses is easier to read than this book.You know what it reminds me of?. A denser version. I once said that Shatter Me was not a novel; it was a collection of similes and metaphors that do not make sense. That is a fantastic description for this book!. Clearly this works for a lot of people, but it was not for me.The book is. Lots of descriptions, overuse of similes and metaphors (did I mention that they don't make sense?) until I had no idea what was going on. I read sentences and thought "Huh?!" It hurt trying to figure out what Kristoff was saying.There were the ones that I understood but were so eyeroll-worthy that I wished I didn't:And then there were all the ones that I really just didn't understand:And everything is so. To borrow the quote Anna used:???????????????? Just say you kicked him in the balls! ^This does not better writing make.I can't do it. I'm going to go bury myself in a place where love blossoms and life finds itself carried away on the wings of wonder.
