Athens Ophelia The Partitioner: Dusk by Zachary Aneiress

Introducing cartoonishly out-of-this-world villains and navigating the beautiful puzzles of LGBT love, Athens Ophelia The Partitioner: Dusk by Zachary Aneiress is a bold, uncompromising, and inspiring YA read. In this fifth installment of Aneiress’ series, the new-age mythological hero must once again balance between the dramatic trials of teenage life and the shadowy threats he and his crew of quick-witted comrades must face down. While the rapid-fire storytelling is engaging, the prose is peppered with easily fixable errors, incomplete or unclear sentences, tense disagreements, and unnatural syntax that regularly interrupts the reading experience. The thematic choices are timely, the plot is easy to follow, and the characters are charmingly imperfect, but the technical execution of this book needs firm editorial direction.
