Inanimate Objects by Kendra L. Saunders
★★★★☆
Inanimate Objects is a dark and glittering novel of artists and
magicians, muses and immortals. At the heart of the story is Leonidas Bondi, a
charismatic young artist who falls under the watchful gaze of Matilda August.
Matilda has been a patron to the stars for hundreds of years, but this fickle
muse is more than a little taken with her new protégé, blurring her own lines
of work and obsession. Providing opposition is Matilda’s son, Elisha, a moody
figure who holds revenge above all else after he suffers a terrible wrong.

Barnes & NobleInanimate Objects was a creative ensemble of stories using different points of view. While I read this book, I got lost in the dark, disjointed story that took place. This was very different than other stuff I have read.
It took me a little while to get used
to the style of writing and switching back and forth between stories and points
of view, but once I got used to it, everything fit together really well. I
really liked how different the feel of the book was compared to other things I
have read.
The author used words artfully and made
a statement and impression with her work. I would be interested in reading more
of her work in the future to see what she comes up with. I don’t see her as an
author that follows trends and other ideas for writing. She will make a mark
with her own kind of story.
