Book #20 - "Son of a Witch," Gregory Maguire
I have a hard time writing a review when I just like a book, but I seem to have something to say if I have mixed feelings.
Powerful to the point it gave me even worse anxiety dreams than usual, and made me a bit depressed. Very real, with obscure happenings, meaningless violence done for tactical gain that all comes down to money, a meandering and inconclusive non-plot line, and inconsistent characters. Often lovely writing, but then he would get carried away with it and seem to forget that he had a story to tell. Points for bi and poly inclusiveness, although the poly was of the "don't blink or you'll miss it" variety.
