gogglor 's review for:

The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez

5.0

slow-paced

---

This isn’t like anything I’ve ever read. The second person, the fourth wall breaking, the interlaced perspectives, the tone and mood - it’s incredible. Just an absolutely fantastic read.

There’s a lot of explicit ritual cannibalism in this book, and a bunch of other triggers, but trust me, it’s worth it.
