C. L. Taylor’s books have long been among my favourites, so I was naturally excited to read her newest one. The synopsis was mysterious, and gave very little away, other than the fact that it is a story from multiple viewpoints, something which I really love in a book.
Once again the style of the writing keeps you reading without wanting to put the book down for even a single second, it kept me up into the early hours of the morning (admittedly my 6 week old son also helped with that).
Multiple viewpoints made it even more interesting as you were eager to get back to whomever you had just left, as chapters often ended on a cliffhanger which I adored. Despite the desperation to get back to them, I only found myself then getting caught up in the next person’s storyline, which of course made this book as compulsive as it was, ensuring I was never bored, and finished it in what seemed like no time at all.
Each character was individual, you got to know them and their personalities, faults and all. They have very tenuous connections, but none that you can really imagine sunny up to get into the situation you see in the first couple of pages.
Ursula was my favourite by far. Probably the most outwardly flawed, but you couldn’t help but sympathise with her as you could see she was genuinely a nice person, who was clearly suffering inside. Also her wing situation was dire to say the least.
Gareth was lovely. Clearly a bit downtrodden with the cards life had handed him, and I really felt for him. Alice was headstrong and quite confident, and I admired how she went for what she wanted, but she wasn’t too harsh, and often Showed a more tender and insecure side to her.
This book is simply addictive. I’m always excited to read C. L. Taylor’s books, and genuinely can’t recommend them enough. The reveals are always satisfying, and im counting down the days until our next treat from this author.
