The Furies by Mandy Beaumont
challenging
dark
medium-paced
1.5
I'm really, intensely sick of the I-am-Nihilism-I-will-sleep-with-random-dudes trope. It's so overdone.
That aside, this is pretty stomach-churning, hardgoing stuff. No one is likeable, no one is redeemable, the misfortunes are piled up so high that it's hard to think of this as anything but torture porn, and the whole central idea of the Furies appear to operate only as a deus ex machina to power up our central character in a mysterious way towards the end?
It's been a long time since I've read something this unpleasant.
