A review by makealongstorycourt
Little Rot by Akwaeke Emezi

I don’t know how to rate this, tbh. 

I was engrossed in the plot the entire time. Truly impressed by Emezi’s talent of tying characters together - kind of how I felt the rabbit hutch SHOULD have been. 

But the purpose……….idk. It felt very Lapvona but lacked a larger societal commentary that would’ve (potentially?) warranted some of the disturbing details in this one. 

I did like this more than Emezi’s romance novel, and I loved VIVEK OJI…but I am at a loss for words on if I liked this or not?

The experience of reading it, for me, was worth my time. The ending leaves me 🥴
