Blood and Salt by Kim Liggett
3.0
This was...interesting? I'm not sure what to make of it. I think it actually needed a couple hundred pages at the front end of the story.
It seemed completely random and thrown together. This is a story of immortals, Spaniards, Native Americans, corn fields, and...cults-sorta....sounds like someone was rolling plot dice.
There were pieces I really enjoyed. There were pieces that left me confused. I also had this figured out extremely early on, which is always a disappointment. I'm typically really bad at seeing what's coming.
I'm not even sure I'm completely understood what happened in the end. I accepted it, but not sure the pieces all fell together.
There is a book called Dreadful Sorry by Kathryn Reiss, which is extremely similar, but in my mind, woven together much better. It isn't as edgy as this book. But in terms of the past intermingling with the future, I think it was done much better.
It was ok, but not as great as I was hoping it would be.
