message 769: by Megan (new)

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just completed my selection for #12 Celestial Body - The Secret Wisdom of the Earth by Christopher Scotton. I loved this story! It was unexpected and beautiful as it slowly unfurled from a simple story about a boy visiting his grandfather in Kentucky to an examination of grief, evil, loss, and the impacts of impulsive decisions. My only criticism was that the end was rather muddled, the last chapter skipped around in time quite a bit so it was confusing. I read the ARC, so hopefully that was fixed in the final edition. Definitely worth reading! 4.5 stars
