A review by ccee
Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

challenging dark medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? N/A
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

Beautiful prose, but don’t read if you have a tendency to get wrapped up in apocalyptic fiction and become paranoid about the world to come.
