Blood Safari by K. L. Seegers, Deon Meyer
3.0
Trigger warnings: violence, gun violence, car accident, snake attack, probably other stuff but it's late and I'm tired and my brain is mush.
I read and LOVED Deon Meyer's Fever back at the start of the year, so when I saw that my library had more of his books I figured it was about time I picked them up. And this was...fine? It still did a great job of capturing the intricacies and political complications of South Africa. It was still a compelling and gripping story. It still had solid characters that I cared about.
But it was REALLY long (over 500 pages long) and I.......yeah, there were times when I found it confusing because we were over 400 pages in and suddenly something from the first 50 pages became relevant again and I didn't remember what it was.
Still, it was engaging and fast paced, so.........what more can you ask?
