The Awakening as Told by the Boys by Caroline Peckham
5.0
Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti have quickly become two of my favourite authors, EVER.
They wrote a retelling of their first book in other characters’ perspectives and I really sat around for 10 minutes after reading and just let myself sit in all my emotions.
Do you know how good a book has to be for me to feel this many emotions, EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN?!
These authors have such a talent for depicting how quickly humans can turn into monsters and all the reasons that lead to that happening.
I’ve never had such a hard time going back & forth between validating characters’ decisions & hating them for those exact same decisions.
The twisted sisters write morally grey like no others can and I fully stand by my opinion that this is one of the best fantasy series out there.
