Ashes on the waves by mary lindsey5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I hate thin premises that promise more than they ever intend to deliver. And mark my words, every single fucking chapter starts off with a quotation from a piece of Edgar Allan Poe's writing. It pisses me off, because it feels like the author uses the famed author's name and quotes his works as more of a selling point than any actual relation or tribute to the author himself. And I mean, suckered, since this book is a hot mess with a microscopic connection to Edgar Allan Poe's works. ![]() The premise of the story being based on the poem suckered me in. I absolutely love his writing, particularly his poetry, and Annabel Lee is among my favorite poem among his wide repertoire. I am a proud, card-bearing member of the Edgar Allan Poe bandwagon. This book starts off with a text of Edgar Allan Poe's beloved poem, Annabel Lee. ![]()
