The Removed by Brandon Hobson

3.0

This is one of the most unique books I’ve ever read. At its core it’s a story about a Cherokee family grappling with the loss of their son. It explores illness and addiction. It also has both historical and mystical elements and it is very satisfying when you figure out how the pieces are connected. However, it took me a while to get into it and even once I was on board, I still wasn’t hooked, which is really to say that it could be written in a more engaging way. Overall, great idea but a bit disappointing on the execution. Considering what a fast read it is, I would still recommend it.
