shellyhartner 's review for:

Prophet Song by Paul Lynch
5.0
challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A very difficult read any time, but perhaps even more so in the US in 2025, when many of us are wondering whether it is now, or is it now...or is it now that we should leave? 

Beautifully done with a structure that appears to exist to be the antithesis of internet writing, with bold paragraphs that stretch from page to page, its text solid and strong.

Now excuse me while I curl up in a ball to sob.
