bayleaff 's review for:

Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich

I have mixed feelings about this one. It was an interesting combination of super slow, contemplative storytelling and tense, thriller-esque action. The writing was great, and the story has definitely stuck in my head since finishing the book a few days ago, but it was also very bleak. I wish more time was spent on the "Mother" character because that was terrifying and also very confusing. All in all, I would still recommend for fans of dystopian stories with a litfic tone.
