What a delectable read !The reader gets thrown into a world where life mixes with legends, supernatural, and fiction, and gets to wonder where the line between reality and fiction is, because it's so blurry. I mean do riders really exist? After all, there's that little voice...And that's one of the very many questions you'll find yourself asking.I started with short stories, and as a non-English speaking native person, I must confess that I had to pay a bit more attention to what I was reading when reading them, due to the nature of the prose, which was so beautifully poetic. I was a bit worried I'd have to do the same for the whole novel, yet I was pleasantly surprised that it just flowed so well. And not at the detriment of the writing, which retained all its qualities.The writing is engaging, not only from the fact that you end up questioning a lot of things, but with the way it pulls you in by its darkness, while allowing you a breath of fresh air once in a while with the little touch of humour here and there. The main characters are certainly interesting and unusual, and the best thing about them, and it's a credit to the author, is how as a reader, you end up caring so much for them, when they themselves basically show very little emotion and you can't connect with them on that level. It's like caring for an ice cube. It's fab.
