Our Share of Night by Mariana Enríquez

4.0

very heavy usage of chekhov's gun, though not particularly a bad thing. slow at times but overall interesting. kind of felt hopeless after reading it but also not in a bad way? didn't scare me at all but i feel like it wasn't supposed to. i've said this a couple times but if i had to describe our share of night using other media: it's like if hollow knight met life of pi met house of leaves, with a touch of coming of age. an ambitious story! argentine politics meshed well with it, i felt a little off-kilter with the inclusion of the aids crisis but i think that has more to do with reading about the aids crisis leaving me feeling desolate. a solid novel, and one i would recommend.
