The Changeling by Victor LaValle
5.0

My, my. This was quite the epic journey. I don't have much to say except that this was very moving and unique. It's not quite the pure horror I was expecting but there plenty of chilling and horrific moments for sure. But also moments of hope, of joy, of sadness, of nastiness. This felt like a whole dang tapestry of one lifetime. The main character Apollo was interesting. I love interesting protagonists who have good qualities as a person but also has flaws instead of just being a goody-goody. That was Apollo. There were moments where the book goes into fantasy but I feel like overall, this bends a lot of genres to its will.
