2024 day 15: The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez

A fantasy story which is almost too clever, but an excellent read. It mixes 2½ levels of storytelling: a frame story, a fantasy story told within the frame, and a dream theatre where the two overlap

It's well-written, and the relationship between the protagonists is compelling. And somewhere in the intricate structure, the book manages to say something about family ties and how actions echo through time

The cover of Simon Jimenez's book The Spear Cuts Through Water The cover image is a gorgeous drawing, shaded in blocks of solid colour. In the centre of the page an enormous green hand is drawn. In the palm of the hand is the silhouette of two figures, one wielding a sword and the other a spear, who are either fighting or dancing a ritual dance. Surrounding the hand, and partly overlapping it, are roots, vines and leaves which twine across the page.
