![]() Gossamer Madwick, The Dark House at Elsewhere Bendīe still my heart Marisha Pessl has done it again! I'm amazed at how she can take such varying genres and subject matter and manage to grasp my attention so thoroughly no matter what she writes about. Otherwise, the plot was thought-provoking and unique, the characters were interesting and well-developed, and I had a fantastic time reading it. I was not totally blown away by the ending and there were certain reveals that felt unrealistic. ![]() I don’t have many critiques for Neverworld Wake. It was bizarre, yet easy to understand and engaging all the same. It reads like a typical mystery – other than the fact that the characters must solve it through the same 11-or-so hour period every day. I expected this novel to have a much higher level of science fiction influence than it did, which I think helped me to enjoy the book more. I really enjoyed the world of Neverworld Wake. Neverworld Wake does retain a similar air of mystery to Night Film, but other than that, the story is entirely different. If you’re going into this book expected a young adult rendition of Night Film, don’t pick this one up. ![]() ![]() A great first young adult novel from Marisha Pessl! I really enjoyed this book! I managed to remain intrigued throughout the entire story. ![]()
