    I absolutely love when a novel its just a consistent stream-of-consciousness. When prose is as beautiful as this, i dont mind not being fully aware of whats going on. Just letting it happen and flow ✨

  • Whats that one genre…?

    That one genre that you want so badly to get into but every time you try you hit a brick wall. For example, I have personally tried to read Epic Fantasy many many times, and for some reason every time i try I have never been able to finish a single book. I feel like I love hearing and reading more about epic fantasies than ever actually reading them. However im stubborn and will likely continue to try this genre cause im so sure at least one book or series will be for me.

    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:
    Told in utterly beautiful, poetic prose, The Wax Child took me by surprise and I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. This was a brilliant lesson in stepping outside of my usual genres, since I am not much of a horror fan, but I am a huge fan of translated fiction and global stories. I also LOVE historical fiction, particularly since it borrows from real-life, which is precisely what The Wax Child does, telling the story of Christenze Kruckow and basing it upon a 17th century Danish witch trial. Ravn’s poetic writing style shines off the page here, bringing to life a curiously archaic voice of a child wrought of wax – a prime example of of the ‘most sinister magic’. It is childlike and unexpectedly sharp and precise at the same time, and I found no end to my favourite lines of this book! As Christenze flees rumours of her witchcraft and scandal, she arrives to Aalborg, a city of seawater, where she convenes with a community of women, rousing more rumours and suspicion.

    The quiet naïveté of our narrator helps to explore themes of sexuality and felinity as Christenze joins the community of women that help one another cook, clean, sew, live. Does she wish to join these heteronormative conventions and chores? Is this adding to the pile-on that she is a witch? In turn, this ‘village’ is brought to life with the sort of repetitive prose that feels reminiscent of old folklore tales being told around a fire. And, upon finishing this book, a quick research session tells me this book is fairly grounded upon Nordic values, history and folklore. A really beautiful read that I’m sure I’ll pick up again next autumn.

    This is written in an absolutely exquisite manner. To read a novel in the perspective of this Wax Child was beautiful. Despite having no eyes, ears, or mouth, it is all-seeing and all-knowing. Hearing the proceedings of the witch-trial from the Wax Childs perspective as its Mistress and the ones she loves are punished is beautiful. I absolutely loved the repetition, the varying chapter lengths, and the little inserts of 1600s spells. I took my time with this despite it being under 200 pages as I wanted to savour every moment. Stunning to read, a true masterpiece.

    Reading this with an (admittedly failing) open mind in regard to the AI allegations.

    So far there’s some phrasing and word choices that i am unsure of, however plot-wise i am enjoying it.

    Super easy to read though, feel like ive only been reading for 5 minutes and im already 35 pages in.
