The Luminaries by Susan Dennard

The twitter Thread that started this project helped me through the first six month of Covid. The book that resulted from that is one of the best I read this year.

p. 1 The Nightmare

Oh, now I know why the #LumiNerds wanted to follow the wolf.

#WinnieWednesday and #BlueSargent would be besties. I just know it after chapter 1.

p. 14 "If it's not in the Compendium, it's not important." That's just stupid. Who wrote the Compendium?

p. 15 #UghJay
p. 36 Jay or her father for Chapter 0?
#TheLuminaries #SusanDennard
p. 66 "The wolf howls intermittently, which later Winnie will realize is strange." Well, well, well I could guess.

p. 75 Except if everyone else is dead or afraid of that nightmare.
p. 99 And that "my lord" friends is all the characterization for #UghJay you need.

p. 124
If we get an "I'm your father" moment with the Whisperer, I will riot.

p. 128 Integrity can be a curse if others don't value it.

p. 185 "Back when the Dianas were still part of the society." This is an interesting tidbit of information.
#TheLuminaries #SusanDennard
p. 230 f. "And she spots a patch of shiny red skin on the tip of Erica's thumb, where the Band-Aid had been a few days ago." Nice reminder after the burned finger Diana info. Don't forget where we are.

these are theories for the next book / the end after reading this completely.
1. Jay and the Wolf
2. Father and the Whisperer
3. Erica and the Dianas

This book is the compelling combination of #NeilGaiman's #Coraline feeling of wrongness, #SuzanneCollins's murderous trials and references from our twitter adventures.

So now the wait begins to find out how all of the set up mysteries conclude.
