Leia Sedai's Reviews > Compound Fracture

It is difficult to hold back my repeated praise for this book by saying, "This book is one of the most incredible things I've ever read; you must read it as soon as possible" over and over again. After finishing the book, it took me nearly two weeks to process everything that occurred and formulate a coherent review.

As someone who resides near Appalachia, the themes in this book were ones I am intimately familiar with. I do not believe I have read anything else that fundamentally captures the beauty and ugliness of Appalachian culture so comprehensively. The events of the book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. It is rare that I am unable to predict twists in a thriller or mystery, but once again, AJW kept me guessing and did the opposite of what I thought might happen.

Do yourself a favor - go ahead and pre-order this book now. I am excited for everyone else to read this book after it's published. I sincerely hope AJW continues to write books for many years to come!
