narschlob 's review for:
A Study in Drowning
by Ava Reid
DID NOT FINISH: 27%
I wanted to like this the way I did the wolf and the woodsman but the protagonist is so racist in the first few chapters that I am having a hard time relating to her or her plight.
Her flaws are too forward with too few redeeming qualities to encourage further reading. The world building is flat and feels too direct to even be allegorical. It's just not whimsical. It's not driven.

Graphic: Pedophilia, Racial slurs, Racism, Sexual assault, Xenophobia, Religious bigotry, Sexual harassment, War
And all of those triggers and slapped on you within the first three chapters.
