The Gifts by Liz Hyder

Did not finish book. Stopped at 22%.
I was intrigued by the premise of this story. A feminisnist mythological fiction novel? Sounds cool! Unfortunately, I didn’t feel like this book delivered. At first, this book was hard to get into. The prose was beautiful, and also clunky in execution. I just… didn’t enjoy how this book is written with the POV changing so quickly, short chapters, and a lack of discernment between the various voices of the book. However, it was the detailed account of animal abuse and torture that made me DNF the book.
