kerstin gier dream a little dream the silver trilogy

It's not really about Liv instantly becoming friends with these Londoner Raven Boys, which is unlikely but not impossible - I did a two-day intensive TEFL course in Glasgow a few weeks ago, and after about an hour in a class of 15 students, we were all soul mates. In a way that made me wonder if my copy was missing pages. The problem is that this book just didn't make sense it was like an acid trip, and not in a good way. It's also been brilliantly translated from its original German, which helps. I related to it, which is saying quite a lot. I usually hate this 'woe is me, I have too much money and too many opportunities' narrative trend in a lot of YA, but Gier strikes a nice balance between Liv's hermitic loneliness and her easygoing nature.

This book was a pretty quick, easy read, and the best thing about it is the narrative voice I loved Liv's character, loved her narration, loved her careful balance between dry and joyful. I thought this book might pull me from my funk, but it was a bust. Now I'm three books behind and bricking it. Until about May, I was never less than 3 books ahead. I've been in a massive reading slump lately, and I've been seriously flagging with my reading challenge, which is disappointing, since I was smashing it for the first half of the year.
