A review by emslund
Surrender by Sonya Hartnett

2.0

Went back and forth between three and four starts on this. Four for the writing and style - which I found poetic and akin to the kind of prose writing I personally strive to write. Three because I did not like the plot/ending. While I usually am cool with a psychological twist, this one felt muddled and too vague for me to actually enjoy - I was left feeling confused to the point of seeking out reviews/plot summaries on the Internet to see if I was the only one that felt confused (or if the book's plot was just not well constructed for clarity), and then additionally felt confused as to what the author actually intended (and I dislike like that I have to think about author intention or the fact I have to doubt the writer's ability to create plot). Ultimately - a three. But this writing style deserves almost a five starts from me. Loved that.
