A review by nutmegandpumpkin
Pet by Akwaeke Emezi

dark mysterious reflective fast-paced
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.5

• Super intriguing plot & world building 
• Takes on dark topics
• Genre is kind of a mix of things: a bit of dystopian, a bit of speculative fiction (fantasy??), family drama 

Among other minor things, the main reason it didn’t get a higher rating is that I felt like there was some loose ends with
how/why Jam & her mother’s blood makes pet come alive and why her mother is drawn to paint these creatures in the first place.
 But to be completely transparent, it’s possible I may have missed it because I listened to the audiobook.

Also I LOVE THAT PET WAS
A BIBLICALLY ACURRATE ANGEL!!!!
