autumpearl 's review for:
Godshot
by Chelsea Bieker
This is a difficult book to read, made more difficult by the beautifully lurid writing. The poverty, despair, and violence of this world are described unflinchingly-- it is almost too much to bear. You will mostly likely feel deeply disturbed and uncomfortable as the tale unfolds, although (like me) you may also find it impossible to put down.
The saving grace is the clear eyed bravery and unconditional love of the main character. She is imperfect (just a child!) and does not follow a straight line to freedom, but she is more human for all that. I won't spoil the ending here, but I will say not to give up hope. If the main character can hold onto hope through everything she endures, so can we.
