A review by unhinged_female_protagonist
Wild Embers by Nikita Gill

2.0

Something just fell a little flat for me. I don’t want to discourage anyone from reading this one, maybe you’ll love it. It just didn’t resonate with me as it didn’t felt orignal or exciting. The concept of using female characters from storybooks and mythology is something I’m divided on - on one hand I think it’s classic, and on the other I find it to be played out. Also, many of these poems read as prose, with no poetic form or function. I liked Nikita Gill’s other book I read recently, THESE ARE THE WORD, much better
