It's like nothing else I've ever read before and the first 80 pages are so brilliant and in tune and dazzlingly amazing. Who else writes about trauma this way, who can tell the story of leaving home like that, dying mermaids all over the beach, and you know, you just know, she is telling the story exactly as it was, it is, tonally, perfect.
And then there's an interlude of violent fantasy and I can almost go there but it feels like fiction, then, and it was the archival quality that I enjoyed.
A beautiful, beautiful book. Almost fell for easy tropes but luckily sidestepped that one.
What do you want to know about being human? Being human hurts. And is complicated and fearsome and fierce.
It's not like anything else. It's shatteringly on point. Alzena the Witch!!!! You can't make this stuff up. It's so good, it can't be made up.
