Silk Fire by Zabé Ellor
1.0
I am afraid this book was a DNF for me.
I couldn't understand what was happening. I re-read paragraphs to try to understand the context. The names were overly complicated for no reason and even that made it difficult to keep track of everything. It was a bit clunky and though the sentences made sense on their own, I couldn't quite get into the flow of the book. I had to check other people's reviews to see whether it was just me who struggled, but it seems this is a common issue. I was sad to see that the author had not taken well to such reviews, so I will simply say the above and leave it at that.
Also, if I read the word 'whore' one more time ... Jeez
I'm quite disappointed as the blurb for this book had really intrigued me, but I just couldn't get behind the writing itself, and seeing so many others struggle makes me not want to invest any more time trying to work it all out honestly.
I was offered a complimentary copy of this novel from Rebellion Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
