nyxlexica 's review for:
Blood Meridian
by Cormac McCarthy
challenging
dark
tense
slow-paced
Difficult to read. Very slow, very distant, no character to get behind. An intense depiction of a period in history I knew nothing about, though, with an incredible villain. Happy I've read it but can't say I enjoyed the process, exactly.
