If The Lovely Bones hit the spot, these will too

Both land dream logic and stillness at once
The difference: Reviewed even better

Both are built on the same subject: grief
The difference: Takes it somewhere less romantic than The Lovely Bones does

The same preoccupation in both: afterlife
The difference: Easier on the grit than The Lovely Bones

The same mix in both: melancholy, then romance
The difference: Leans harder into romance than The Lovely Bones does

Fantasy built on dream logic, twice over

Both lean on stillness more than on drama



Melancholy drama, and it commits to that

Gritty fantasy in both cases

Two things both keep coming back to: melancholy and grieving

Fantasy with a pulse of grit, in both cases
In the mood for more dreamlike?
