Mehso-so

Two pages of notes front and back, a few dozen tabs and this book is finally done… I was very much NOT the intended audience for this book and it shows in my notes.

This book felt like an adult retelling of Alice in Wonderland if it were made by Guillermo del Toro and Studio Ghibli. It's so magical and fun with a sprinkle of star-crossed romance and mystery. 10/10 ✨️

DGRachel NOW I want to read it! 4d

Not to complain, but the margins in my book are too small for my notes… so I now have a yellow notepad to be snarky on.
One point of complaint…. There is too much untranslated French in here. I‘m creating a personal glossary for the book… since in my infinite wisdom, I took Spanish in school, not French.

The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida | Shehan Karunatilaka
post image
Pickpick

Maali, a war photographer, gambler and closeted gay wakes up in the afterlife after being murdered. He has seven moons to decide between going into the light or staying in this world with other ghosts who are trying to avenge their deaths. He is not as concerned with who killed him, all he wants is his photographs to see the light. I felt lost during certain parts, I knew nothing about Sri Lanka's history or culture and after reading the book ⬇️

nanuska_153 I still don't really know much about it, but it does sound interesting. There's a small attempt at the beginning to explain what the initials to the different factions involved in the war represent, but not detailed enough to learn what it really means, except that everyone is evil. I really loved the parts that were more centered on the characters, because I knew what was going on. ⬇️ 7d
nanuska_153 I think I'll re-read it once I get a chace to educate myself, because it's clear that the story is much richer than what I could get from the surface with my limited knowledge 7d
Graywacke Great book. Glad you enjoyed it! 7d
