Inanimate Objects by Kendra L. Saunders★★★★☆Inanimate Objects is a dark and glittering novel of artists and magicians, muses and immortals. At the heart of the story is Leonidas Bondi, a charismatic young artist who falls under the watchful gaze of Matilda August. Matilda has been a patron to the stars for hundreds of years, but this fickle muse is more than a little taken with her new protégé, blurring her own lines of work and obsession. Providing opposition is Matilda’s son, Elisha, a moody figure who holds revenge above all else after he suffers a terrible wrong. (Goodreads) Buy Now: AmazonBarnes & Noble
Inanimate Objects was a creative ensemble of stories using different points of view. While I read this book, I got lost in the dark, disjointed story that took place. This was very different than other stuff I have read.
It took me a little while to get used to the style of writing and switching back and forth between stories and points of view, but once I got used to it, everything fit together really well. I really liked how different the feel of the book was compared to other things I have read.
The author used words artfully and made a statement and impression with her work. I would be interested in reading more of her work in the future to see what she comes up with. I don’t see her as an author that follows trends and other ideas for writing. She will make a mark with her own kind of story.
