Every Mountain Made Low
A Fantasy, Science Fiction book. Review originally published on The Curious SFF Reader Well I am usually bad at writing book synopsis but...
Loxley Fiddleback can see the dead, but the problem is... the dead can see her.Ghosts have always been cruel to Loxley Fiddleback - but none more than the spirit of her only friend, alive only hours earlier. Loxley isn’t equipped to solve a murder: she lives near the bottom of a cutthroat, strip-mined metropolis known as “The Hole,” suffers from crippling anxiety and can't cope with strangers. Worse still, she’s haunted. She inherited her ability to see spirits from the women of her family, but the dead see her, too. Ghosts are drawn to her, and their lightest touch leaves her with painful wounds. Loxley swears to take blood for blood and find her friend’s killer. In doing so, she uncovers a conspiracy that rises all the way to the top of The Hole. As her enemies grow wise to her existence, she becomes the quarry, hunted by a brutal enforcer named Hiram McClintock. In sore need of confederates, Loxley must descend into the strangest depths of the city in order to have the revenge she seeks and, ultimately, her own salvation.

More About Every Mountain Made Low
Review originally published on The Curious SFF Reader Well I am usually bad at writing book synopsis but this book isn't making the process easier. I don't even know the genre of this story, it is dealing with issues like disablity and Down syndrome, it has elements of horror (the main characters sees ghosts and can host their spirit),... I love the idea of a book from the perspective of someone with a disability, in this case autism. However, the writing did work to bring Loxley to life. She felt one-dimensional, like most of the other characters. The plot was disjointed and meandering. The fantasy element never really came to life; it simple reared its head randomly... What an astonishing book. The protagonist is not that likable, but the fact that she is " special needs" is well-realized and consistently rendered. The world in which the story occurs is deftly constructed, and - well, read it for yourself. It will go quickly because its hard to put down.
