A review by franciso
The Winter Road by Adrian Selby

3.0

I'm still trying to decide how I felt about this. It was certainly haunting and a few weeks on I'm still thinking about some of it. The characters were strong and believable, and every twist felt like a stab in the gut (in the good way hah). But I still for some reason struggled to read it - I don't know if that was maybe the very dense style of writing that included a lot of explanations of slang and words being used, or maybe that the pace felt quite lurching, overly slow then followed by a rush of plot that I couldn't quite follow. I'd like to read more by Selby I think, but will let this one sit with me a while first.
