A review by saturdayslaughter
A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw

Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.
Wasn’t in the mood for something dark and it didn’t engage me. Was kind of nice sometimes when you got the flow of it, and it’s a cool power the guy has. Sometimes it was unintentionally cheesy, ‘the shell was a memory from our childhood, broken, just like she was’ like damn you didn’t have to put that last bit in. It made me laugh at it a couple times. Kept thinking that they shouldn’t have restated how he hoped finding the woman would give him closure from
not finding his sister in time
, you only needed it once and just leave it implied. It was kind of weird that it didn’t leave you to stew in his emotions, it just stated them. Would have felt more desperate if he wasn’t stating again and again that this is his last hope for recovery. And when the POV switched I found the new voices real annoying. I just don’t care enough to stick around for the actual interesting answers and his probably cool interactions with this isolated cult.
