The Spear Cuts Through Water: A Novel

Beautiful, poetic, mythical, unique. An absolute masterpiece.

The story of the book is not what I am talking about. It is the book itself. Very poor quality cover and even worse page quality. I've seen better quality newspapers. Yes, it is a paperback but the cover is so thin, it was barely ok when it came to me but it was drowning from the warmth of my hands while reading. Now the cover is bending all the other ways but flat. It has a really good cover art too. Sorry for the Author and the cover artist, they deserved better.

The story is good like really good. But the literal book is so disappointing, the cover is literally normal paper thick and the pages are bible paper thin! I’m so disappointed because I really love this book and I wanna enjoy it but—if you’re someone like me and you take special care of your books, it’s really hard because I have to be extra careful so not to rip it and oh the small font makes it even worse! PS: the rating is for the literal book and that only!

This book helps me pass the time!

Denna var inte alls för mig. Snurrigt och svårt att hålla reda på vad som händer eftersom att boken berättas från massor av olika perspektiv och dessutom från olika tidpunkter. Jag gillade inte alls författarens sätt att skriva, jag gillade inte karaktärerna och jag kände inte att jag brydde mig om hur boken skulle sluta för jag var inte alls investerad i berättelsen. 1,5 stjärna.
