![]() ![]() I couldn’t take seriously this sentence from Nathanial Sorrow’s diary, when he touches Ava’s wing: I admit, there were a few sentences and phrases that for me just missed the mark – they were clearly intended to be very serious, but were unfortunately comical. Generally, the language of the book is entrancing. I do not mean to say that this is a bad book. The language is charming and the magical realism is really entrancing. A lot of the stuff written here is what I’ve thought on reflection. The concept of the book: Ava Lavender is a girl born, inexplicably, with the wings of a bird.Ī lot of this review is going to be criticisms of this novel, so before I get there, I do want to make it clear that I did enjoy this book while I was reading it – until Chapter Twenty Three. This will be quite spoiler-heavy beyond a certain point, because I just don’t think there’s any way to talk about my trouble with the book without some spoilers. I have a lot of thoughts on this book, so, this is your warning. ![]()
