My Review Of Reunion: Coda By Alex Diaz-Granados
Writing
Characters
I really enjoy the way Alex creates characters because they very much feel like real people. They’re not too perfect or too shallow. They have flaws, they have redeeming qualities and they have a very real feel to them which makes it so much easier for the reader to relate and empathise with the characters.
From book one, I’ve very much enjoyed Jim Garraty’s character. And I’m not just saying that because I’m obsessed with history and he’s a history character lol. I also really enjoyed Mark’s character, he’s a fantastic side character. And learning more about Marty and her interactions with Jim was something I very much enjoyed too. Maddie was also a great addition and I found myself drawn to her from the minute she came into the picture.
Plot
I won’t go into the details of the plot because with books like this one giving away too much can ruin the experience for readers. But I will say there are some beautiful moments, some heavy moments, some thoughtful moments and most importantly the plot deals with the complex nature of relationships that humans have with one another. We crave love, social interactions and connections yet when we achieve them things are often more complicated then we realise. We also spend so much time overthinking our past and present that we sometimes overlook what is right in front of us. And we forget that there is so much (everything if you’re a Stoic like me) we do not and will never control.
Other
I want to mention the images in the book too. They were really cool and made it a lot more fun to read. I can generally picture everything I read in my head but having images helped me “see” the characters and things around them as the author did while writing the book.
Finally, I thought the themes that Alex Diaz-Granados chose to explore were very meaningful. Lost love, loss in general, being stuck in the past/memories of the past are things we can all relate to. Whether we want to admit it or not most of us have experienced these. And I believe this made the book much easier to read, I felt myself empathising with the characters and knowing the pain they felt even if my experiences aren’t the exact same.
