A review by booking_along
The Ardent Swarm by Yamen Manai

2.5

i can see why other people might love this but it wasn’t for me.

it was a strange mixture of metaphoric representation and heavy handed commentary without actually coming out and saying what’s is really meant. 
also if you don’t have at least a basic knowledge of the politics and a bit of the history of where this book is set most of it will just be over your head.

i think this has its readers. 

for me at this time - it wasn’t for me.
