This Novella ate.
I can't believe how short it was but still managed to tell a complete story.
This novella was weirdly sexual given the subject matter. It lacked direction, leaving me waiting for something interesting to happen, only for it to end abruptly. The afterword helped me make sense of what I had read, but overall, I wouldn't recommend it.
I was on the edge of my seat reading this, the writing was so compelling.
Absolutely hated chapter 18 but everything else was PERFECT!!!
Brother by Ania Ahlborn, follows our protagonist, Michael, a 19-year-old trapped in an isolated family of cannibals.
I read this book in 2023 and it was undoubtedly my favourite book of the year, highly recommended for anyone looking for a gorey, bleak and completely hopeless book to feel awful about.
