A review by thatweirdbookgirlie
Each of Us a Desert by Mark Oshiro

3.0

I wish I could have liked this story more. I loved the idea behind it, and the ending in particular. However the lead up to that was full of misses for me. The pacing of the story always felt a bit off, certain parts felt rushed while others seemed to drag on. There were also parts that were just straight up confusing, like many of the creatures that I just couldn't picture in my head due to lack of description (maybe it's just cultural lore that I don't know?).
I do think it's a book that's worth giving it a shot due to the overarching theme and ending that solidifies this sense of self idea.
