Noir by Jacqueline GarlickMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
So here I am, a few days after finishing Jacqueline Garlick's Noir, and I am still banging my head against the wall. How could she do this to me! I can't wait for book 3! This is going to be absolute torture.
Noir is Jacqueline Garlick's 2nd book in The Illumination Paradox series. It starts right where Lumiere left off - Eyelet is charged with breaking her love, Urlick, out of prison and finding the cure to her sickness.
Garlick's incredible fantasy world is completely unique and wondrous. Her words weave an exciting tale from start to finish. People die, are tortured, left in asylums. There are many setbacks and lots of heartbreaking moments. And then, after all that, she leaves you with the unbelievable cliffhanger.
The book is told from multiple points of view. I love that when C.L. (Crazy Legs) tells the story, he keeps his cockney accent in the reading.
Garlick's characters are one of a kind and extraordinary. She is able to take unusual people and make them phenomenal. Urlick is not your typical hero. He has physical “defects” but he has a heart of gold. He possesses a brilliant mind that he uses to build amazing machines and daring plans. His friends are as individual as he is, especially when he meets up with the freak show.
Garlick's pulls out all the stops in her story. It's never dragging or boring. It never lulls and never fails to make your heart beat faster. I love reading this series! I almost threw my phone across the room when I read the last page. UGH!!!
