I don’t write reviews, I write about MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES with things. If I do write something resembling a review its to communicate what a particular piece of media means TO ME which has absolutely nothing to do with YOU. What I like, why I like it, and why it resonates is personal TO ME. A review tells you more about the author who wrote it than it usually does about whatever is being reviewed. I’m not trying to convince anyone they should like something or dislike something just because I do, that would be nonsense as all media is subjective and EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. Someone’s opinion of art has zero to do with anyone else.
The making, and consumption, of art is ENTIRELY PERSONAL.

If Vespertine was truly a novel birthed from trauma and a mental health crisis, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that suffering sometimes paves the way to brilliance because this is Margaret Rogerson's best book to date.
