Major spoilers ahead! (DOOOOOOOOM) You have been warned.
Hello all & welcome to the first Indie book club review! Here we have The Keep by Bill Olson and my first impressions on the tale.
The Keep has a refreshing untraditional approach to storytelling. Don’t go into this story expecting a standard YA tale. This book is more clever than that. The focal character of The Keep is Grange The Younger but it is not his story alone. The entirety of The Town is there to share the point of view. This creates a rich collection of characters, together struggling with the effects of mysterious Objects of Power that plague their home.
If you love the art of storytelling, you’ll love the inventive ways this book unfolds. It weaves a narrative of love, loss, and redemption in a very human fashion. My only issue is that the pacing but, if you can hold on, you’ll be well rewarded.
