Wow. Just... W. O. W.

I have it on good authority that this has moved up through the ranks for good, effortlessly gliding past all my other favorite contemporaries, without hesitation, but funnily enough, without realization until now... up to slot No. 1. I was just too engrossed in Letters to the Lost to notice it sneaking up on me all the while.
Because of A Curse So Dark and Lonely & AHSFAB and then now this?

...Kemmerer is now 100% an auto-buy, auto-sort to ‘favorite authors’ shelf. No questions asked.

I recommend this 1000%. I love Brigid Kemmerer so, so, so much. I can’t say that enough. I think she is absolutely brilliant- such a talented writer. A sorceress of emotional manipulation- evoking emotions you didn’t even know were lurking around in your soul, awaiting an out... until BAM! There they are.

So; I just wrote 2-3 sentences & then deleted them, both around 10 times (each a different combination of the same reactions & emotions; all variations on the same theme)....
This book was so perfect that I have this overwhelming, currently insurmountable, need to GET. THIS. RIGHT.
So many feelings, and thoughts, and words, and just, raw emotions, are bouncing around in my head and heart right now.
I can’t stomach doing this book any sort of accidental injustice by not getting my thoughts in order & my heart under lock and key
(because PHEW am I F E E L I N G at the moment- there are too many feels whirling around all at once, with the intensity level dialed all the way up to “supernatural disaster.” I cannot in good conscience unleash what I am feeling quite yet, see: “supernatural disaster” levels of intensity).

I need to wait until the affect of this book has faded just a bit. I have to get this one just RIGHT;
I need to do this glorious book, and my own feelings, justice.
If I can’t... i hope somehow that this declaration, in its own right, somehow will?
Until then... RTC
