lilomari 's review for:
Sister, Maiden, Monster
by Lucy A. Snyder
dark
mysterious
tense
Well that was crazy
And got weirder and weirder
I really enjoyed it.
Distinct women characters with strong personalities. Themes of body autonomy, surveillance, medical gaslighting, the incompetency of government in times of chaos, and gendered violence. Lots of sardonic comments in the narration about the double standards for violence from men and women.
It started out with creepy body horror with an unknown cause, and it was effective at making me queasy and look away from the book like I'm watching a horror movie.
Then it just kept getting balls-to-the-walls weirder and weirder. There's some religious fantasy involved, her own bloody version of a rapture-like apocalypse, and there are "old gods" but also aliens ???
It was intriguing all the way through for me. Constant unraveling of new information as the pandemic/apocalypse unfolds. Even if there are a lot of unanswered questions, you know enough to know that you can't know everything... Great cosmic horror.
