All the Birds in the Sky, by Charlie Jane Anders
Back when this book was new I kept on seeing hype for it everywhere but didn't ever quite feel like it sounded enough up my alley to be bothered reading it. But then I read a short story by the author which I really enjoyed, and decided maybe I should get around to All the Birds in the Sky after all. It took me a while, but finally I did!
And this is definitely a good book, but like.... I don't know what to do with it. I'm not convinced I like it, but it is certainly very interesting. It's not quite like any other book I've ever read. And I don't know what to say about it! But I'm glad I read it.
Also I DESPERATELY NEED TO KNOW what happens after the end of the book with Peregrine and the Tree and whether the end of the world is actually thwarted???? It's interesting over the course of the book to see what the narrative chooses to focus on and what's elided over to just make intriguing background hints, but not telling the reader whether apocalypse is genuinely nigh is a little unfair!
