it was amazing

I rather enjoyed this book, with it’s whimsical and adventurous nature. It borrows from a variety of children’s book tropes, a character finding themselves through adventure, a feeling of abandonment, a saving figure that propels the story onwards... and yet Faber twists them and makes them different, his own, so that you feel like you are reading something fresh and new.

The authors voice throughout the book was a brilliant addition as well!

At times it was difficult to read due to the loss of the letter ‘D� but I guess that works to Faber’s purpose and really cements how terrible the world would be without them.

There were wonderful phrases of Faber’s throughout the book that just resonates with me. Points of insightful observation that just makes the world around you that little bit clearer.

All in all, excellent!

Jo Sé Thinking or buying this, but the synopsis sounds a lot Ella minnow pea, only in that different letters become illegal to use from this islands alphabet which causes everyone to stop using words and finding new ways to say things


Lilia I haven’t read Ella Minnow Pea, but from what you’ve mentioned, I would say that D is a lot more fantasy/magical focused rather than political.
