A review by mandarins
The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw

3.75

i cannot pick a rating. 3.9 ⭐️.
the doctor and the mermaid were so,, i have no words for their connection but i loved it.
though, i might not have a flawless literary english vocabulary, but the words used were so fucking rare and weird and convoluted that i like couldn’t keep reading at the pace i wanted, i couldn’t even google all the words i didn’t know, i wouldn’t have finished the book.
these characters and setting and plotlines were so unexpected and creative, i love. 
i was just along for the ride honestly.
