5/22/2023 0 Comments The Rook by Daniel O'MalleyShe is bruised and hurt and finds an envelope in her jacket giving instructions on who she is and where she has to go. Myfanwy Thomas opens her eyes with her memory gone and surrounded by dead agents all wearing latex gloves. And I dived in and was immediately immersed in this intricate and exciting creation of O’Malley’s that is a bit like a furious blend of the X-Men, Torchwood, Anne Rice’s legendary Talamasca, my favourite fictional secret society up to now, mixed in with a dash of Scarlett Thomas. And then it came out here and I begged for a copy from publishing house Head of Zeus who were kind enough to send me one to review. I should have got my copy when I flew to New York in March. She told me about it many months ago when it was still only available on Kindle. The Rook by Daniel O’Malley is one of them. And then she’ll tell me about books I haven’t heard of that aren’t making the rounds on blogs and I’ll eventually get to them and kick myself for taking so long. Most of the time I tell her about new books which I haven’t read that are all the rage on blogs and she’ll get them and then lend them to me afterwards. One of my school friends and I share similar tastes in books and we are forever exchanging recommendations.
