A review by kattheloremistress
All the Birds, Singing by Evie Wyld

3.0

I will start by saying that this book had me hooked from the get go. The first line is brutal in it's imagery and gives a clear idea of what is to come in the pages that follow, yet as I became gradually more unsettled and disturbed by what I was reading, I found that I didn't want to put the book done. It is easy to see why this novel (though quite short) has gained such attention. It is raw and haunting in every way. Wyld writes fluently and her words are beautiful, yet violent and explicit at times. I would most certainly that this book is not for the faint hearted. My niggles with the book came with the ambiguous ending, an epilogue that left me with many more questions than answers. The jumping around in time left me confused at moments too but I still really enjoyed this book and I think to understand it completely, it needs to be reread a few times.
