读过《The House in the Cerulean Sea》 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
这本书的目标受众应该是Young Readers，所以说情节上超级predictable可以说是意料之中也算无可厚非，说教的成分有点重，有些台词直接由角色说出来讲真感觉略尴尬……但除此之外，真的很有意思啊！可以说是合格的queer story了（当然不仅是因为涉及到gay marriage），这种涉及到gifted children的题材真的很适合写成queer story，而且实话讲这本书在“对未知能力的恐惧”上的处理比HP要高明，虽说还是免不了有点过于理想化……角色塑造其实蛮成功的，作为重度恐娃症患者觉得这里面每一个孩子都好可爱！（Lucy这样的小孩是真实存在的吗请给我一打）读完以后最大的腹诽可能是这个魔法学校校长真的不是邓布利多吗？（。。。
