Prophet Song by Paul Lynch

2.5

challenging dark emotional sad tense

---

I expected to love this book. I’d heard great things. Sadly though, it really wasn’t for me!

I’m not sure why I didn’t like it - the story is powerful - but I kept finding myself not wanting to pick it up to read it, and I was relieved when I got to the end because I didn’t have to pick it up again. 

I don’t think the author’s choice to forgo paragraphs and speech marks helped.
