d_jemme 's review for:

The Changeling by Victor LaValle

3.0

---

Based on reviews that used words like "enchanting" (and the fact that it's been made into a film on Apple TV+), I kept going, assuming that eventually this tale would prove itself to be so. Instead I found myself interested in characters that just faded out of the picture, while losing interest in the ones that stayed. And perhaps, given the topic, the sense of dull grayness I felt throughout was intentional, but it wasn't necessarily enjoyable.
