Hi Annie, this was an exceptional read!

I’m on the team behind Reedsy Discovery, a platform connecting indie authors with high-quality editorial reviews.

We’re launching a new version soon and inviting a few experienced reviewers to share feedback and help shape it.

Would you be open to a quick 15-minute call to hear about what we’re building? Your perspective would mean a lot!

Thanks so much,

Ethan

Hi Ethan, I'm open to that but I'm not exactly an experienced reviewer! This is my first book review. Feel free to email me at anniehendrixmusic@gmail.com if you still want to schedule a time to chat.

I haven’t read Bagaev yet, but your review made me think of Kenneth Patch and his experimantal novel The Journal of Albion Moonlight.

Curious. I love when writers are brave enough to challenge expectations around form.
