Reality is overrated! These surreal and absurd fiction books remove logic to reveal their truths. Here the impossible is inevitable, the strange is necessary, and Kafkaesque is only the beginning.

Embracing the body and reclaiming otherness, these books use horror to redefine notions of womanhood and monstrosity.

Fast-paced lives. Crowded streets. Late nights. Ambition, longing, and messy, magnetic love—all happening in real time.

I will probably need to take a class on allegory and symbolism to understand this piece of literature. I lost count of how many times I had to start over cause I kept feeling lost and this being my first SGJ book the writing style was a little dense. But I loved it anyway. I could sense that every little detail and word choice was intentional and meaningful. I still don't completely understand Etsy's part in the story apart from being the annoying entitled white person lacking any self-awareness and intersectionality. The theme that captured my attention the most on this readthrough apart from the genocidal and gory body horror was Arthur's gluttony and how it mirrors colonial, settler, genocidal and capitalist greed which is a striking contrast to indigenous cultures.

The more I think about this book, the more shallow it feels. i immensely enjoyed this book when I was reading it. The setting was so rich and imaginable, the politics was great if predictable and that's all the positives I remember now. The execution of the climax was great and i was just riding the high of reading an anti-romantasy book. Also, this book is a great example of how books written by women are wrongly categorized.

Forced into unending sleep or perilous insomnia, repeating tedious daily routines until your body rots, watching as your skin starts to glow or your hands sprout scales—these novels feature illnesses that are far from typical.

I don't know if these books are evidence of my amazing taste in books and great sense of humour........... or lack thereof 👀👀.
Review: Expected amounts of cheekiness and idiocity from the main character.
