I had no idea what this was about when I started it, I don't quite know what box to put it in. Maybe magical realism, light horror, fairy tale mashup? Regardless, I really enjoyed it. A different take on... maybe vampires? Who eat books instead of human blood? (I don't think that's a spoiler, it's literally the title of the book).

Dr Ms Kat finished reading Promises Stronger Than Darkness by Charlie Jane Anders
The story of this trilogy is good - kept me interested enough to keep reading - but the execution needed more work. It's tricky to negotiate a story with an ensemble cast, where the perspective changes frequently, and it wasn't always flawless. Also if one of your main characters is trans and I don't realise that until halfway through book 3 (it's referred to directly, but only in Brazilian Portuguese), then maybe you're being a bit too subtle about it - epecially if she's a princess.

This felt a bit clunky, like the writing lurched from character to character at times, maybe it needed better editing. I was hoping I would remember more details about the first book as I went, but I didn't. Thematically this isn't a terribly positive story, so not recommended if you want a happy or cheerful read.

This was very sweet. Magical realism, with young kids and a healthy dose of queer representation.
