isapassarelli 's review for:
The Incendiaries
by R.O. Kwon
kinda disapointing, i liked the premise of this very much when i read the synopsis but i feel like the book doesn´t match it, some of the things mentioned in the blurb only happened almost 90% into the book.
- the way it was narrated also felt very confusing to me, and it was just not my style, i´m not a fan of super short chapters.
- i don´t really like the way the themes were treated, it was such a short book that i felt like some of the topics were written in a shallow way? i really like the idea of thinking about religion, fanaticism, north korea, but in the end of the book it seemed like it didn´t approach any of these at lenght, even the rape scene and aftermath didn´t feel like it got enough attention (maybe that was the intention?).
- i feel like i wwould like a novel with the same plot but a super different execution, the ideas were cool but it was just not my syle.
