The Study of Sentient Things by Trevor McCall is a fictional book filled with horror, thrillers, and romance. It is divided into four different stories, which all come down to one main story about the supernatural events and occurrences of medieval times. Each story has at least two parts. The book is written so that each character has a story about how certain events play out in the book.

First, I want to say that The Study of Sentient Things isn't the kind of book you rush through. To get the hang of each story and its connection to the overall plot, you need to read this book slowly. I'm a fast reader. But it took me days (11 days precisely) to finish reading this book.

The Study of Sentient Things keeps you on the edge of your seat while it plays with your mind and makes you want to know more. It keeps you asking questions like, what is going to happen next? Who is this, and what are they trying to do? What is going on? Who is this person talking to?

The book is challenging to comprehend at first glance due to most of the terms used. The stories in the book are not entirely straightforward, and there is a need to read deeper to understand what the author is trying to say. There is no proper introduction to the characters. However, the author introduces a character using another character. At first, this can be confusing. But as the reading progresses, readers can understand better.

The author describes the events, scenarios, settings, and characters well. It helps to grasp what the author is trying to describe. He also uses many references, making it easy for the reader to understand specific terms in the book. He uses certain Bible references as a form of wordplay, which most people would find intriguing. There are tales about ghosts moving from one body to another through the mind, sacrifices, and many other supernatural events.

If you are looking for a book that will play games with your mind and keep you wanting more information about the events while entreating your thoughts with beautiful images painted with words, then The Study of Sentient Things is the book for you.

The Study of Sentient Things is well-written and properly edited, although it's difficult to understand at first (which is the only minor complaint I have). Regardless of the initial difficulty in understanding, I'll rate it four out of four stars.
