A review by livcatherine
Juniper & Thorn by Ava Reid
4.0
This book made me so uncomfortable at certain points- but in a way that felt purposeful and meaningful. Abuse, violence, and greed are uncomfortable things, and this book tackles those issues.
I thought Marlinchen was such an interesting character, someone who had a lot of manipulation and lies force fed to her and internalized from birth, meaning she had a LOT to work through.
I also thought the look at womanhood, girlhood, and sexuality was really interesting but also sad in many ways.
Generally, I would recommend, unless you have issues with gore and cannibalism (metaphorically and literally).
