annarella 's review for:

The Splendid City by Karen Heuler
5.0

A book featuring witches and a talking cat is right up my alley. A dystopia that made me laugh and think because, even if the author did an excellent job in keeping the mood light, there's some very serious topics in the world building.
I loved it as it made me laugh and think, kept me hooked and turning pages.
The author did an excellent job in developing the characters: Eleanor and Stan are both memorable even if Stan is the guy you like to hate or the a quite realistic depiction of how a human turned cat could be.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
