A review by shealea
Caster by Elsie Chapman
5.0
Layered. This book is so beautifully, astonishingly layered. And it’s complemented by a powerful punch that quite literally took my breath away. And just when I thought it couldn’t possibly get any better, Elsie Chapman effortlessly pulled off a “ha bitch you thought” and set up a wildly fascinating premise for the sequel.
Not to exaggerate but the moment I finished Caster, I sat quietly for minutes, asked myself if this was a stand-alone novel, and then sent Elsie Chapman a message on Instagram that said:
I forgot about [the announcement of its sequel]. Djdnsjsjs. But tbh, if this /was/ a standalone, it would singlehandedly be the cruelest but also the most iconic thing anyone has ever done.
Because some stories can stand on their own, but Caster made everyone else bow, took the crown, and ran off with it. And then strutted back into the room wearing it.
I swear, all my metaphors would make sense if you read this book. So do it. Do it now.
Full review once I recover.
Highly recommended! (5 stars)
