There’s … there’s just so much happening with these characters. Yet Summers manages to leave the hints of it there without showing the seams of the writing and undermining the whole enterprise. Because when I examine the characters, the way that Summers tells the story, it’s so clear how much work must have gone into figuring out the whole vision for this narrative-not just the parts we see on the page. I have long enjoyed Summers’ novels, but wow, my conviction that Sadie is another level has only been reaffirmed by a re-read.
Having read it once, knowing the general twists and turns of the plot now, allows me to spend more time focusing on discovering other elements.įor example, although I mention the timbre of Summers’ writing in my first review, it dominated my experience on this second reading. Although I don’t typically re-read a book so close in time to my first reading, the hardcover of Sadie has been calling to me ever since it showed up in September and decorated the shelf in my living room where to-be-read books live. That’s what I love about revisiting media I enjoy: you always notice new things. I’ve just finished another TNG rewatch, and I’ve noticed a lot of things, or been looking at the show, in a different way this time around.
