The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw

dark mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

The writing is beautiful, but too ornate to be truly visceral. It succeeds at being a fairy tale, but despite the subject material, does not quite read as horror to me.
