'Curse' Drakko by Alexander Gabriel Zoderot
challenging
dark
reflective
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? N/A
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
‘Thus, in eternal dark, as a crawling mist he spreads! Around the guilty ones! We cut short our own threads.’
⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟
Drakko is an assassin who wants to retire after one final kill. But as this winding, lyrical poetry and prose novel investigates, can it ever be the last? And what after that? For any of us.
Honestly, there is so little you can say about this book without giving the game away. I will say, it was not an easy read, it required time and attention, which given the short length, was a surprise. There are elements horror, fantasy and Eastern philosophical tradition woven together. I believe rereading would serve to peel back the layers on this onion, diving deeper and deeper. I would recommend this book if you want to be challenged in your reading, as I truly have never read anything like it.
Thank you to author @a.g.zoderot and tour company @boundbymischief for the opportunity to read this fascinating book.
