This is a quick sucker punch of a story that I read in one sitting. It is fast, fierce, and terrifying. However, I found it too brief. While I could appreciate the cryptic and thematic curt ending, I wanted more to get there. Chambers's posts and the ...more

Good Boy is a delightful story, equal parts heartbreaking and heartwarming. Initially, I had my doubts about the recounting narration approach, but it grew on me. So much so that it perfectly encapsulates a village legend. Clever, emotional, and swif ...more

I love the premise of this book, but I really struggled with the execution. It feels like the story cannot decide if it is YA or for adults. It swings between cartoony and corny to adult violence and language, making both feel misplaced. It taps on t ...more

I'm not sure how I feel about this book. In some parts, I was rapt. In others, not so much. Ultimately, I think it feels forced or contrived. Too many twists so they don't quite land right. It is an enjoyable enough read, just not my favorite of Sage ...more
