It definitely wasn’t what I was looking for or expecting. ( ) Have you ever picked up a book thinking that it was going to invoke a certain feeling based on its cover? Honestly, we probably all have, since coverart is a pretty unavoidable marketing method and if done well gives us an idea of what the book will contain. I picked up this novel from the library thinking that it would be a lighthearted read with summery overtones, evoking a west coast vibe that hinted at the magic that the cover notes described. While the novel definitely evokes the west coast perfectly, it is far from the lighthearted read that I expected. Instead of surfers, frolicking in the waves, and summertime sunrises I instantly felt like I was back in high school with my own coven, discovering our own magic amongst the lakeside forests during the twilight hours. Obviously our experience did not include rogue sisters, murders, or actually bringing ghosts into the future, but that feeling of finding ourselves through our friendship, exploring the world and creating our own, and feeling the power of nature and our burgeoning womanhood felt absolutely familiar to what the Greys go through as the story progresses. It echoes a truth that I had almost forgotten, as our group drifted away (though not always apart) over the years, since that feeling of youthful exploration and finding magic never really fades away. For all that it reads as a murder mystery, the important themes are far more intuitive and I am glad that this book doesn’t seem to be marketed as simply another teen beach read once you get into the actual story - even if its cover seems to imply as such. Considering that this isn’t the first book by author Amy Rose Capetta, I’m a bit surprised that I’ve never heard of her - but I guess it’s great to find a new author with some back publishing to catch up on. Here’s hoping her previous novels are as magical as this one! "Most magic doesn't change the world. It's about being in the world. Appreciating its gifts." (page 132).
With lush prose, atmospheric descriptions, and nonlinear storytelling (segments intertwine present and past), Capetta (Echo After Echo) crafts an accomplished tale with a wide range of representation. AuszeichnungenBemerkenswerte Listen
Danny didn't know what she was looking for when she and her mother spread out a map of the United States and Danny put her finger down on Tempest, California. What she finds are the Grays: a group of friends who throw around terms like queer and witch like they're ordinary and everyday, though they feel like an earthquake to Danny. But Danny didn't just find the Grays. They cast a spell that calls her halfway across the country, because she has something they need: she can bring back Imogen, the most powerful of the Grays, missing since the summer night she wandered into the woods alone. But before Danny can find Imogen, she finds a dead boy with a redwood branch through his heart. Something is very wrong amid the trees and fog of the Lost Coast, and whatever it is, it can kill. -Inside cover. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
