yiffy 's review for:
Sharks in the Time of Saviors
by Kawai Strong Washburn
fresh from finishing this and hm. i like it a lot. liked the distinction of each voices in every narrative. like. there's always a hint of their personality bleeding through, and it's nice. perfect. it's a little hard to get used to, but it gets pulled off in a way that a few chapters down the road, you'll recognize who's who and it's nice. i guess.
you get to see their thoughts, their struggles and it makes it feel like everyone in this really matters and isn't just there as a background character.
plotwise it's not really the most cohesive. like i feel there's a before and after. before feels like a straight line but the after is a little messy, scattered. you get to see how their life falls apart, how they cope with grief and it's different. varied. kinda feels like it's gunning to be something different and bigger all at once but kinda fell flat.
liked the deconstruction of noa's character + that onr spoiler i wont say. adds a little twist to the novel, more meaning. liked the ending too - it's not a magical fix it where everything's all right at the sudden and it's something i really appreciate. it's realistic, open, very hopeful. not really a happy ending as far as it goes, but it's nice, and it's apt to the overall tone of the novel.
really ties down to that one chapter where malia talks about hope, and how it's a god you can pray to. very neat.
