The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida
by Shehan Karunatilaka
DID NOT FINISH: 50%
This was just so tedious to read. It wasn't even the complex politics nor the sad and horrible things that happen in this book, it was just too slow. The second person POV gets tiresome very quickly and caused a disconnect with the main character. Not only was this too long, but it also had way too many characters and wasn't skilled at juggling them all. Very interesting concept and plot, but the execution did not work for me.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Body horror, Death, Genocide, Torture, Violence, Murder, War
The book is set during the Sri Lanka civil war and pulls no punches when describing the horrors of such a violent and long standing conflict. VERY GRAPHIC.
