The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw

dark slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot

3.75

I liked this book, but I felt like the plot was lacking or confusing in some parts. The language used, while beautiful, made this a really difficult read, since it was too much flowery language. 

What shined in this book for me were the characters. I loved the dynamic between the main character and the plague doctor. The other characters involved were interesting.
