The Unworthy
by Agustina Bazterrica
dark
sad
tense
medium-paced
I’m going to be honest, I hated this book, which is rare for me. Came very close to DNF’ing this—I’ve never had to work so hard to push through a <200 page novella.
I can respect the author’s writing skill, but this was very much Not For Me. It just felt like neverending misery/torture porn... it was nauseating at times. While the prose style was unique, the post-apocalyptic setting and the underlying “mystery” felt like a retread of many books that have gone before—not much new to offer there.
I truly don’t get the hype for this book.
