I don't know what I was expecting to get out of this book. Tarryn Fisher's Love Me with Lies series was dark and angsty and honest.
Maybe I thought I would be getting more of the same, because comfortable is sometimes what you think you want to read.
This book was not more of the same. It was not comfortable.
It was innovative and painful and I absolutely no doubt about it am in love with almost every word and hate almost every word.
It's not a mystery like the blurb suggests, though it HAS mystery in it.
It's not a romance.
It's not a new adult story.
It's not coming of age.
It's not women's fiction.
It's not a thriller.
It's all of that and none of that. It defies categorization.
Mud vein rips through all your expectations and gives you chapters that are the most beautiful things you've ever read and chapters that make you want to curl up and cry and chapters that make your heart pound.
This book is a character study. It's so artfully written, I'm astonished.
There IS a love story in this book. Of a sort.
You've never read anything like it.
The ending - I hate. I want to throw the book ( I would if I had a physical copy), but at the same time I know that no matter how upset I am I'm going to buy the paperback and put it on my bookshelf right next to Jane Eyre, The Bronze Horseman, Anna and the Swallow Man, How to Love and Ignite Me.
It's a forever favorite. I don't recommend it.
Mud vein is painful.
Read it at your own risk, is all I'm saying.
Sexual content: One sex scene. Super easy to skip. Only one page.
Cursing: Yes. A lot unfortunately.
Violence: Some, yes.
