A review by rosa_inverno
The Mercies by Kiran Millwood Hargrave

challenging dark emotional sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes

5.0

Exceptional. This one might be my top book I've read this year, or at the very least one of. It is heartbreaking, infuriating, lyrically written, and utterly brilliant.
