Couldn’t put it down. A challenging read, with some graphic parts that were hard to read (see content warnings), but a beautifully written and imaginative story that has stuck with me.

4.0

A wholly engaging read with rounded, individual characters, so frequently falling prey to social expectations and the unknowns of fate. Onye is spirited and an unstoppable force, charging wholeheartedly (not always whole-headedly) into situations and disrupting the accepted “natural” order, whether for ostracized groups or women. Who Fears Death is ignorance laid bare, the cruelty of imperialism and its unlovable pervasive extended family, and a circular exploration of life and the (often karmic-inducing) choices we make to survive.

Abandonado: gatilhos horríveis

Nota 1/5= escrita é forte até de mais

Leitura= 08/2018

Não consigo dar uma opinião sobre a trama porque eu abandonei nos primeiros capítulos. Recebi recomendações, apareceu uma oportunidade de ler e aproveitei sem ter muita informação além de que era uma distopia africana.

O problema é que a escrita me pegou demais, tem muita violência contra mulheres, contra meninas, e foi tão descritivo que eu senti real como se fosse comigo, literalmente me fez passar mal então eu abandonei na hora. Não consigo mais ler, independente de como continuar.

Não pretendo retomar a leitura e fiquei com receio de ler outros livros da autora, eu não tenho psicológico para isso. A nota é baixa pela experiência extremamente dolorosa e perturbadora desde as primeiras páginas.

Sobre o resto da história não consigo fazer um julgamento, mas aviso qualquer um interessado em ler que os gatilhos são bem intensos. Se você tiver alta empatia pelo que lê sugiro que evite esse livro, é bem pesado logo no começo.

3.75

it started off really strong but by the end, it felt a bit rushed and not fully fleshed out. the deaths of characters didn't really have as strong of an impact and I was much more interested in the worldbuilding/magic system than the actual plot/characters

The ending was slightly anti-climactic in my opinion. The characters were mostly distinct and engaging, though Diti was dancing on my every nerve throughout the entire book. I have so many questions to the author, but mainly “why?”
