Not bad actually. Very different to Apocalypse cow but really readable.
The main character is quite likeable and is developing in an interesting way.
The use of language and innocence through a young narrator reminds me of The Book Thief or The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
Tha author is a little over descriptive at the start but gets over this and so far the book is flowing well
Definitely not laugh at loud but enjoying it so far
Is it Lady Of Shalott themed? 'Half Sick of Shadows' reminds me of the poem...
Fus Ro Dah!

Its a tradition or an old charter or something.
I may have to download it to the old Kindle!
Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.
The rest of us are a bit crap.

I've recently finished reading 'The alchemist' by Paolo Coelho, and am currently reading Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson and 'We are our brain' by dutch brain surgeon Dick Schwaab. Both are pretty interesting.
Scientists are predicting the future will be much more futuristic than originally predicted
