![]() ![]() The protagonist is sucked out of the economy of quips and memes into the tiny pleasures of teaching a kid to experience the sensory, preverbal, offline world. Everyone around the baby falls hopelessly in love with her. No One Is Talking About This takes a sharp turn: intimacy and crisis yank the protagonist offline halfway through the novel, when her sister’s baby is born with a rare disorder that gives her divergent perception and cognition. ![]() Lockwood might be the first person who has made me feel less bad by writing about the Internet. The first hundred pages of No One Is Talking About This discuss what many books are talking about: living with social media. The protagonist of Patricia Lockwood’s new novel seems like the kind of person I love to hate: she’s known for knowing what’s going on in the Internet social world, so much so that she’s paid to give talks about how it feels to be very online.

![]() ![]() If you want to read something whimsical, fanciful, and just a little bit different I would recommend the first book and perhaps even the second one, but this final installment I would just skip. All in all this was a frustrating conclusion, and I could have very much just read the first two books and been happy leaving it at that. I also found that some of the magical world building didn't make any sense, while in other books it was definitely fanciful but also believable. ![]() ![]() She also just essentially tried to do too much in such a short period of time, and because of such I never really got any closure on the whole thing. In the other two books I adored the writing and the world Mantchev has created, but in this book I found she added too many side characters at the last minute. The romance seemed far to melodramatic, and the love triangle wasn't done well and wasn't satisfying. I felt like after all this time Bertie and the other main characters had little to no character development. The romance was brought to the forefront in this final installment which is why it really just grated on my nerves. One thing I never liked about those books, however, was the romance. I thought they were the definition of whimsical, theatrical, dreamy, and just so different. I gave the first book in the trilogy 4 stars and the second book in the trilogy 3.5 stars. This final installment of the Theatre Illuminata trilogy just did not work for me. ![]() ![]() Seth stood with Bananach in one of the older graveyards… With effort, Seth ignored both Aislinn’s and Niall’s calls all…Īislinn was a little surprised that Seth wasn’t at her… The commotion at the door was to be expected.
