Mycroft Canner (the main character) is writing this book in the style of the 18th century (sort of- most of the book is written perfectly normally) to address someone reading it from the future. This is going to be an incoherent review, so I’ll apologize right off the bat. Though I love this book- I don’t fault a single one of those readers and I’m not even questioning why. There were many individuals who hated it, many who did not finish. I read it as part of a group (spoiler heavy discussion here). It is also not a book I can blanket recommend to everyone. Just so you are aware- I rated this book 4 stars and not 5. My hope is that maybe you’ll discover a new-to-you favorite. Mostly because I want to spread the love for my favorite books that never had the opportunity to be posted here on Hamlets & Hyperspace. The good news is- I promise to only share books I really loved on Throwback Thursday. Hello friends! Today I’m doing something incredibly lazy and sharing with you a review I wrote way back in 2017.
