The absolute chaos here reminds me of A Light from Uncommon Stars simply because there is so much going on at the same time - and this is one of those books where you want to read the dates at the start of the chapter carefully or you will lost. That being said, this was a read you have to pay careful attention to.

The Ballad of Perilous Graves is chockful of adventure, character, random details, heart, and some fine music and magic. There's even a Spotify playlist for the book that I highly recommend checking out while reading. Books with multiple narrators don't always hit the spot for me since just one narrator I don't like can throw me off, but I had no issues with any of the narrators here. Even the shift between a child narrator and an adult fit the story being told. This is a sink or swim book, and Jennings drops the reader right into the heart of things to start.

If you're looking for a lively, entertaining fantasy book look no further! There is so much chaos in this one. (Also, if New Orleans has a claim on any part of you? Definitely check it out, you can tell the author loves the city deeply.)
