The Removed by Brandon Hobson

3.0

Despite knowing I was walking into a story filled with mysticism mixed with reality, I found the story/stories hard to swallow. Not hard to follow–swallow. Following the stories as they meandered between reality and surrealism was easy, it's understanding why any of it was happening was the part that was hard to grasp. As a person of color, I understand what's being fed to me between the lines (or sometimes on the lines and very blatant), but the character's actions were still confusing to process and I found myself questioning why I was somehow past halfway. Nonetheless, it was an interesting experience.
