With its evocative and imaginative writing soaked with visceral images of gore and violence, this is a very challenging and difficult read.
However, Enriquez’s masterful storytelling and characterisation make OSON a really compelling and impactful book to immerse yourself in.
I really enjoyed the multi character perspectives and the intersections between them. Definitely will reread again at a later date!
