Sunshine Book Club Week 5
A lot of things happen in this section, although it still feels like the calm before the storm to me. Rae's dark vision is endlessly fascinating to me - I've never been entirely sure of what all she's seeing, but it's cool to think about, especially since she's noticing a lot of secret things (or is she just imagining them?). And then more SOF - this time with bonus Aimil! I like Aimil a lot, she handles Rae's "out-of-body" experience a lot better than I would have in her shoes.
Speaking of Rae's "out-of-body" experience, can we talk about her vampire sensitivity? And why this particular vampire sensitivity is so strong? Also Yolande, who is a wardskeeper. Yolande is one of my favorite characters in this novel - she's so cool! And the fact that she's so matter-of-fact about everything is seriously amazing to me.
I'm aware that this section ends in kind of a weird place, but there really isn't a better place to put the end point in this section. And it kind of puts a point to this feeling Rae's been having, that something's wrong with Con (and isn't that a weird thought, something wrong with a vampire).
Let's close with a quote in from this section that I really like: when Maude says that "The insides of our own minds are the scariest things there are."
