The Vagrant by Peter Newman
3.0

Fuck me, this took forever and a year to finish.

The Vagrant is pretty unique and unlike anything I've read in the last year. I love the characterisations of the baby and the goat, two rather minor characters who are sometimes bestowed a telescopic breakdown of their actions. The prose itself really is lovely. Lovely maybe being the wrong term for a grimdark fantasy novel.

It's one of those books where, even though I struggled to get through it, I know other people who will love it.

I can't help but admire this book for all its little quirks.
