A review by frasersimons
Emergency by Daisy Hildyard

Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.

The writing at a technical level was great, I just couldn't find anything to care about at all at a quarter of the way into it. I am typically fine with no, or little to no, plot novels and generally love interiority being predominate in my fiction. This, though, with the interconnectivity between our child narrator from a future self, just really didn't do anything for me. The odd moments weren't enough to have me wonder what would happen next. There are no stakes and the life of a child encountering animals is apparently not compelling to me, personally.
