This contains some really stunning, descriptive prose and I was genuinely captivated throughout.
I thought the plot was interesting and that the themes were communicated well, I just didn’t think the characters had a lot of depth to them. That may have been intentional, but it meant that I wasn’t really attached to them.
Either way, it’s still an absorbing read, and a debut novel from a writer who’s already got a pretty distinct voice from the jump.
