The Vorrh by Brian Catling

3.0

It’s aight! It was an interesting creative endeavor of dark historical fiction. I had some trouble following the different storylines and their interconnectivity but midway through I fell more into a rhythm with some of the characters. I think I hoped for more perspective from the African characters. This story definitely did a great job world building, playing with religious concepts in such a way that sparked some new ideas for my own work.

But also like, soooo much genitalia talk in this book. Ishmael is likely the most intriguing character of those in the book, with the dynamic between Ghertrude and Cyrenaica as a close second.
