elana_black 's review for:
We Are All Ghosts in the Forest
by Lorraine Wilson
3.5 ⭐️
Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for the eArc!
(...) For the full review -> my blog
Although I was at times lost in the narrative (I don't know if I misunderstood or if some words were missing), I enjoyed this contemplative book. I understood how Katerina was stuck in a place of culpability and responsability to everyone around her. I understood that it was hard in a world like this to properly deal with one's trauma, especially if people around you don't make you feel safe for something as ridiculous as one's skin colour. I thought the characters felt real, but the action was lacking something. But what I really didn't like was what the bond became. It was rushed and it didn't feel natural or coherent with the story.
I saw the author was a biologist and it shows in all the info we get about plants, this will surely please all the witchy girlies out there :) And there's a CAT!
Rep: mixed-race MC (the author is also mixed race but not the same origins), selective mute SC, autist SC, gay SC
TW : death, illness, virus, grief, racism, misogyny, witch hunt, verbal and physical violence
