A review by joymargot
Vanishing World by Sayaka Murata

3.0

Such an intriguing premise and it had the potential to be absolutely incredible but sadly, this rather missed the mark for me.

Parts of it were fantastically creepy and unsettling but there’s a lot that feels like it’s there for shock value. It’s also incredibly repetitive in parts while some plot lines are left sparse and incomplete.

I loved the exploration of sex, relationships and the family dynamic but wasn’t so much onboard with the paedophilia.

Thank you to NetGalley and Grove Atlantic for the eARC.
