I received a review copy from the publisher in return for this fair and honest review
The World Before us by Aislinn Hunter
There are books that are "love it or hate it" and this is certainly one of them. As is often the case, this book has beautiful language and descriptions, meandering lines of thoughts and unconventional narrators. It is slow and takes its time to develop the mystery and to show how things connect. Not every question is answered. This can either fascinate the readers or bore them to death and insanity (quite fittingly).
From the short synopsis, this wasn't what I expected. Had I gone in knowing all this, I would have enjoyed it more, instead of getting frustrated with a book that seemed to go nowhere for a long time. Expectations...
