Review Peppler

A wonderfully intense and deeply involved read that explores a dark and mysterious world between life and death.
The story centres around Kyle who enters a strange liminal space - the Stillness - after suffering an epileptic episode. Whilst trying to make sense of his new world, he runs into Farah, his real-life crush who is also unconscious back in the real world. They then encounter Chui, a young coma casualty with a brilliant mind who seeks an understanding of their world and a route of escape. Whilst the Stillness is portrayed as unsettling from the outset, it plunges into new depths of darkness as the three venture on a mission to return to the real world. Sinister characters are drawn into the story which make for some disturbing scenes. This is certainly a gripping read from start to finish that’s told at a phenomenon pace.
The dark elements of the story are beautifully balanced by the warmness of the friendships between the three central characters and particularly the love story that develops between Kyle and Farah. Kyle is an endearing protagonist - a gentle realist that grows and blossoms in character as the book progresses.
