Split Tooth by Tanya Tagaq

challenging dark

---

This book wasn't really for me, but I admire the project. It was interesting, I do tend to like some books/stories with a more poetic style, but I'm not really a huge fan of pure poetry, and this book I think was a bit too far on the poetic end for me? It was also a bit too sexual for my taste in books, but I totally understand why it was written that way. Also, if you read this, do check for the content warnings, especially for

child rape

, if you at all need them. I did find the Inuk throat singing mixed in the audiobook (performed by the author) to be very interesting. Overall, yeah, I'm glad that I had the chance to listen to this, although I don't think I'm the target audience here.
