The Mercy of Thin Air

Stefanie Viens

I loved this book, I thought the writing style was very poetic. Razi's character is very human despite her incorporeality; she is attached to her loved ones and has trouble letting go. The author has made it very easy to slip into Razi's nostalgia. It took me a while to realize that the time period she was alive in was the 1920`s because she appeared to be a very modern thinker and is an amazingly refreshing character.

Domingue`s portrayal of the afterlife is simplistic but very different from what I`ve encountered before. It leaves a certain mystery as to the true ending of life, and does not attempt to answer the age-old question of 'what happens when we die?' with her own version of the truth but rather lets us ponder it from another perspective.
