Emma’s last review of the year

liked it
I’m not sure I actually *liked* this book but once I’d cracked the first quarter, it became a compelling read nonetheless: not an easy book to get into. I liked the concept and its grit but there was no one character that really stood out to me. I dont think this is Polansky’s best work. Many thanks to Netgalley for an arc of this book.
