yahaira 's review for:
The Murders of Molly Southbourne
by Tade Thompson
I think I went into this one with high expectations that just couldn't be met.
I don't know how to talk about such a short book without giving everything away. I did find it intriguing enough to read it in one sitting; all the little hints and twists along the way helped. The pacing is amazing for a novella (Tor books kill it in this aspect). The plot is interesting, but I'm not sure how Molly's situation (an allegory for mental health?) relates to the world situation that's alluded to. In the end I only engaged with Molly in an intellectual, rather than an emotional, sense.
