![]() ![]() Nyhu, I understand the comparisons between Amy and Mathilde as well, but I quite liked Amy, unlike Mathilde who was, long story short, batshit crazy. Furies was so fascinating that if the book was written in “normal” prose I’d have gobbled it up in 2 – 3 days, but that fucking purple prose man! That fucking purple prose! ![]() Mathilde’s POV had me longing to return to the book whenever I wasn’t reading it. Fates was interesting enough but fucking hell the book turned on its head and became fascinating AF once I got to Furies. Similar to Gone Girl, this is the story of a marriage being told with changing perspectives the titular Fates is mostly Lotto’s perspective while Furies is mostly Mathilde’s. This book has been compared to Gillian Flynn‘s Gone Girl and once I got to Furies I could see why. ![]() All I know is that I started enjoying the book from chapter four. ![]() Or maybe the prose changed from a garish purple to a subtle one like lavender or lilac. Maybe I started getting used to the author’s ridiculously purple prose. For the first three chapters I was so damn sure this would be my fourth 2 star read in a row because I was not feeling the author’s writing style AT ALL!!! On the back cover the prose is described as “vibrantly alive and original”, but to me it was nothing but purple prose on steroids.īut something happened somehow, coz in the fourth chapter the book started to get really interesting. ![]()
