elle_griffin 's review for:
Tender Is the Flesh
by Agustina Bazterrica
dark
sad
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
N/A
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
May be an issue with the translation, but repetitive sentence structures abound. There are whole pages where every clause begins with "He [verb]." A little too much like stage direction.
Characters weren't fleshed out enough. The story tries to touch on a lot of themes and is at times heavy-handed. For me, it didn't deliver.
