BOOK REVIEW⠀
[The Immortalist] Four siblings have their death days told.⠀
//⠀
WHAT I LIKED⠀
I liked how Chloe Benjamin portrayed the struggle between staying a part of your family unit but still striking out alone. The book follows each of the siblings as they try to find their individual paths. Benjamin does an amazing job researching the historical context of each character’s plot and making the miniscule implications of that history come alive. Plus, she does this with beautiful similes and quotable text that made me question my own thoughts about death, uncertainty, and fate.⠀
//⠀
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE⠀
It's slow to start. The narration seems to float above the action. But. The. Wait Is. Worth. It. I would even consider rereading it in the future. I hadn’t predicted that within the first few chapters. Warning: book hangover imminent.⠀
