I terrestri by Sayaka Murata
4.75
challenging dark reflective medium-paced

Wow. Okay. I have so many things to say but at the same time I can't find the words to describe this book.
A history of trauma that spirals into something dark, grotesque, gore and many many more things. I must say it shook me inside, without any doubt the most surreal story I've ever read. I've particularly liked the first part of the book and the depiction of Natsuki's childhood, the style was fluent and captivating. It made me question things and our reality.. The last part is where everything really goes into madness. But I feel like this is the perfect ending for Natsuki and Yuu, maybe not for Tomoomi.
