likeliteraturely commented on MilaOnMain's review of Root Rot
This one tested my patience a little. It’s intentionally disorienting because there are no names, the narrator calls the characters vague names like “the liar” “the crybaby”. It was a constant sense that im slightly out of step with what’s happening. I often felt confused, and I’m not someone who loves feeling confused while reading.
That said, I think that’s the point.
It’s slow in places, and I had to sit in the uncertainty. But by the end, it all coheres in a way that made me understand what the book was doing structurally and thematically.
This is horror in the visceral sense. It’s psychologically unsettling, body forward imagery that made me truly uncomfortable in a creepy way.
It also ended up being one of those books I liked more after I finished it. While reading, I was frustrated. Afterward, I appreciate the beauty and the slow, disturbing build up to the final convergence.
Not what I expected, but memorable.

Hate hate hate to do this because I absolutely loved the start of this and the atmosphere and setting is right up my alley but the storyline became stagnant and lost purpose to me 😭
