Review;
THIS BOOK AHH!!!! I’m head over heels completely obsessed I could not get enough of this book I read it in 2 days because I just could not put it down. I’m so incredible grateful the publishers sent me an e ARC so I could discover this world.
The story was so compelling, just the idea of a group of people who eat books to survive was so cool. I loved how they could absorb knowledge through eating books, so cool honestly. It was so interesting reading about their society and the view they had on Mind Eater.
This book is the perfect to tell you about a mother Devon who tries their best the protect their son Cai a Mind Eater against the hard ship of The Book Eaters fix rule society. It’s a beautiful story about sacrifice, conflict and love. There were many times I screamed reading this book but they was equal as many time a smiled especially when the SC came out as asexual my little ace spec heart was so happy. I loved how within this book there was a time jump between past and present it really made readers user stand Devon’s past which is key to the story. Reading this book as a Sociology lover made it so much more interesting as it incorporates such patriarchy ways to life but ultimately shows that fix rule cannot be the way forward.
Overall I cannot recommend this book more its 100% worth a pre-order and I can promise you it’s worth your precious money.
