Re: Read-a-long of The Twisted Ones
One thing that I love is the sound. It was very clever. It's something that is easily imagined, really heard, and is a very distinct sound, so it plays well.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

But I'm kind of disappointed because it wasn't explained why Cotgrave had to write that down. What did it get him? It was just such a big deal, not having it come to anything feels wrong.
I found the author's note very interesting, and apparently have a new thing to read!

I agree, the ending was rather weak. I enjoyed the book, so I rated it 3/4.
What new read? I probably missed that.

Cotgrave's lost book (and the manuscript he wrote) is based on it.
