A review by msvenner
Fire Song by Adam Garnet Jones

4.0

This was quite a slow book... but it needed to be slow somehow. The subject matter is heavy and weighed down the reader a lot. Shane, the main character, deals with suicide, depression, sexuality, addictions, mental illness and violence, all within a culture struggling to survive. There are few rose coloured glasses here. That said, the author has some beautiful turns of phrase and spectacular metaphors that seem to lift the story. I'm. It sure I'm being clear enough but I really recommend this one.
