A review by mc235
Children of Paradise by Camilla Grudova

dark fast-paced

3.25

this book had a lot going for it, loved the grotesqueness of it all, and found the atmosphere very carefully drawn. however, it was really weighed down by the decision to over-reference films, which felt pretentious and amateurish. the back half of the book, which had noticeably fewer direct references, was much better. a very quick read and despite its flaws I very much enjoyed it!
