thesammylife 's review for:
First, Become Ashes
by K.M. Szpara
What is the point of a blurb, or a description of a book that has no bearing on the actual book itself?
I was expecting a story about cults and the people of that cult coming to terms with everything they thought about the world being a lie. What I got was not that.
Firstly, this seems to be very metaphorical and the metaphor was lost on me.
Secondly, whilst I was expecting sex - cults usually have an element of sexual control/abuse about them - what I was not expecting was lots of very graphic other stuff? (Also lots of male gay sex - which obviously is fine if this is your thing, but it's really not mine and yeah, there was A LOT).
Thirdly, the actual cult itself and philosophy and how it came to be wasn't explained or explored at all.
This was just very disappointing and really not anything like the blurb purports it to be. The story itself isn't that great, and the events make very little sense.
