Nothing But Blackened Teeth
by Cassandra Khaw
This is one of those novellas that I actually think could have benefitted from being at least 200 pages longer. We’re clearly supposed to connect with the characters, but aren’t really given enough time with each of them as individuals to feel like anything that happens to them ultimately matters from a reading perspective. Likewise, there are so many creatures from Japanese lore that start to get thrown into the action in a manner that feels rather sudden, and there isn’t enough build up to really feel the tension of the situation.
That being said, there is absolutely some promise here and I will be giving more of Khaw’s work a read. Some of the lines in here are absolutely lovely, which keeps the book very readable despite its unfortunate pacing.
