i thought
a big book
of quick poems
would be fun.
i was wrong.
the words
on the surface, at least
carry truth
but they seem more empty than inspiring

So I was a huge fan based off of the first book I read by R.h. Sin, but this one just didn’t do it for me.
I didn’t feel like I connected. Some of what was written was off, the lines were blurring together and I didn’t feel some of it even made sense.
I get it; “you have to dig deep.”
I reached all the way into the side of my big black cold heart and I didn’t feel anything. The only thing I felt during this book was how nothing related to me, nothing really spoke to me.
I just didn’t like it, but you may, so if you’re thinking about reading it then go for it. I just didn’t find comfort in this one at all.

all these poetry books are from my sad girl era. thank you for getting me through that rh sin
I really like r.h. sin but this was just no good. This collection was weak poetry and novice at best. It was the same rendition of the same four poems on repeat. I made it 400 pages before asking myself if it was really worth and half hour of my life. I really wanted to like this. Fuck. At first I thought these were poems from before sin harnessed his craft, but after checking the publication date I was wrong.
This has put me off his work. I think the over saturation of such a small topical scope is the issue. As for the prideful bragging poems, those were fine for whiskey, for here it makes him sound like a douche - and only because only 2 poems hit their mark.
Better luck next time.

2 stars. As someone who is very familiar with r.h.Sins previous works I have to say, this is not my favourite collection. While it was relatable and I did enjoy it to a degree, I don't think it's up to his potential. I felt that it lacked a certain level of sincerity and eloquence that I have found with his other collections - it was as if it was being written just for the sake of writing something.
