review 1: Whoa. This book is intense, exhausting, and absolutely brilliant. I am usually a fast reader, devouring a book in a day or two, but ToD is so heavy, so much to digest, that I read it in small chunks until I was done. Seeing the world through Lela's lens creates a bone-crushing fatigue. My brain could only handle living in her world in small increments. But that's the true mark of genius writing, is it not? To feel everything in the book as if it were happening to you.I will say the last 1/4 of the book is so fast paced that I read it in one sitting, each page yanking me further into the cacophonous dissonance of Lela's insanity. I loved this book so much I can't even do it justice in a review. Read it. Just read it.
review 2: Ack!!!!! This book is so complicat... moreed. I'm going to sleep on it.Not a quick, superficial read. This is a book that requires full attention and absorption. Beautiful, yet clinical writing that leaves no detail unmentioned. Every word is meticulously placed, you feel the deliberation of every moment and phrase.SPOILERS AHEAD****I'm left with so many questions. What did Zory's letter really say? Did the shuttle make it safely? Does Lela ever get to a place where she realizes her own illness? And the Trena shocker?!?! I didn't see that AT ALL! Poor Lela was doomed from birth, her mother both genetically passing on and dementedly nurturing and abusing her to insanity. I couldn't help but root for Lela, even after all she had done, all the people she had hurt. Not that I felt she should be forgiven for the people she had harmed or killed, but more I held hope that all those bad things were just dreams. I had a theory, that was wrong, that she was asleep and dreaming for half the book, in a fugue state or a second sort of life, both thinking they were the real life, not realizing one was a dream. Definitely a book I'd read again, or appreciate an accompaniment to, to better understand what all I missed seeing only what Lela saw. less
