ilikechandeliers 's review for:
The Changeling
by Victor LaValle
Honestly, very solid read overall. I really enjoyed his tone and voice. I really adore the fairy tale style. I'm such a sucker for speculative fiction.
My brain has a tendency to want but to puzzle out themes and motifs, and he gave such a plethora for me to discover.
It does get a little draggy towards the last quarter of the book. And I do get a little disillusioned about his backstory.
I loved that despite the speculative fictional tone, it didn't shy away from the realities of real world problem like racism, marital strife, and mental health. He does such a great balance of the two, and for the most part, blends them seamlessly.
