Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson

“The World is hard; you have to be harder”
Such an imaginative magical realism book. Some of the fantastical parts really come unexpectedly and take you by surprise. The most intriguing aspect of the book is the dialogue and how…cynical and sarcastic the characters talk with each other.
If you love magical realism, you would love this book. It does have some disturbing images/scenes (which is more disturbing than I would think a YA novel to have, but what do I know).
The characters all have their flaws and some have redemptive qualities. But mostly all the characters will make you mad at one point in the book. But I think that is honest characterization.
