essjay 's review for:

Calypso by Oliver K. Langmead
4.75

I knew literally nothing about this book other than that the cover was fuckin gorgeous before I started it. Was surprised and delighted to learn that it was an entire novel told in verse. But not just ONE form, there are four different narrators, all with a v distinctive style (and one of the narrators has multiple styles for a very specific reason). I'm so glad being shallow and liking pink brought me to this book, bc goddamn. 

I do feel like this is the sort of thing that is either going to REALLY work for you, or REALLY not, but am legit stoked to be in the former category.
