reading this in the year 2025 really hits different i fear.
"You can't sweet-talk a monster into anything else, when all it does want is monsterness. Good and innocent, they not the same thing; they don't wear the same face."
an incredibly well told story about the monsters that hide in plain sight, in a world where you’re constantly being told they don’t exist. this is my first Akwaeke Emezi book and it certainly won’t be my last - their writing is so beautiful and i will definitely be looking forward to reading ‘Bitter’ so i can learn a little more about the background of this world
