The Changeling by Victor LaValle

1.0

---

I’m not a fantasy fan, so fantasy lovers can ignore this. This reads like a brothers Grimm story in the second half. Which would’ve been fine and even really enjoyable for me if the first half hadn’t been a really cool psychological thriller, mom cult tease. Fairy tales also have flat characters, like Patrice, who are there to support and apparently not ask hard hitting questions. I digress. I loved the first half, and the second half just wasn’t what I was teed up to crave. Also, I’m team Emma and still think Apollo shouldn’t have just forgiven her like that? She broke his face?
