Little Rot by Akwaeke Emezi
3.75
dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

that sure was a book I just read. maybe it wasn’t totally for me, but was it written really well and still very compelling? Yes. I’d love to still read more by this author. I think overall it was a lot more graphic, and sad than I had anticipated.

“It could give you other things, though, if you how to work the rot, if you weren’t afraid to touch or use it. The rot could give you power” I think this quote really sums up a good chunk of the characters in this book and yet the other characters are dealing with the reverse they’ve touched the rot and been taken by it. 

Maybe this book is great actually if I get past the graphic stuff. Give me a week…
