YA Andromeda Klein lives so deeply in her head that in the first couple of pages of this you only get a few glimpses of her She s riding her bike She s wearing a hoodie But mostly she s thinking about tarot and the Egyptian god Thoth She relates to the world through tarot and her thoughts are complicated and infinitely layered but I have to believe Portman purposely made them as dense and inaccessible as possible maybe to show us how different Andromeda is how alienated from her peers because he later explains many of the same concepts in a way that s easy to grasp In fact the rest of this book is highly readable once you get over the steep wall of Andromeda s thoughtsIt s hard going though The opening throws a lot of new concepts at you Andromeda has difficulty hearing because of osteogenesis imperfecta a condition that affects the bones and cartilage and she s developed her own language based on words and phrases she s misheard It s a lot to remember but as chapter four promises Most magical writing is deliberately obscure designed to hide crucial matters from the uninitiated yet reveal them to those who know how to read the texts properlyThat s this book exactly If you stick with it and learn Andromeda s language her world will open up to youAndromeda is sly funny odd and always herself and she s in high school so of course that makes life even difficult and this book is about libraries and magic and finding people who accept you for who you are and it s pretty damned satisfyingFour and a half stars rounded up to five for good behavior This starts off ploddingly but I soon became immersed in Andromeda s world and tore through the second half of the book rooting hard for her Recommended Difficult but rewarding Use the lexicon in the back

Terrible so so terrible I didn t actually finish this book which is pretty rare for me but there was no listing for I tried but it was just WAY too bad I was SO disappointed in this book I can t even begin to describe it so I won t Instead I ll make a pitch for Frank Portman s 1st book King Dork which uite possibly ranks as my favorite teen lit book Yes it even beats Catcher in the Rye So if you picked this one up by mistake don t write off Frank Portman Go get King Dork and you won t be disappointed Let s just hope he gets back on track for book 3 or sticks to music see Mr T Experience or something
