Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):
Zachary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont when he discovers a
mysterious book hidden in the stacks.He reads something strange: a story from his
own childhood.
Bewildered by this inexplicable book and desperate to make sense of how his own
life came to be recorded, Zachary uncovers a series of clues - a bee, a key, and a
sword - that lead him to a masquerade party in New York.
Thoughts:
There is a lot going on in this novel and it does take a little bit to get into the
story.Keeping track of the story and how they intertwine with each other in time is a
little confusing. The writing is beautiful and it's what truly kept me reading. There is
a mix of reality and magic however telling when its magic and when it's real is the challenge.
The imagery in the story (Bee,Key and Sword) is my favorite part I was excited
every time they pooped up. Zachary almost leads me to think he is just locked up in
an asylum the entire time and everything was a hallucination.
TTFN,
Ashley
