Posted by Avocatore (37 weeks ago ) This ain't bad at all. The author slips in and out of various narrative styles with ease, and the story is both brutal and touching, with flashes of magic and realism.
Some threads aren't really tied up in a satisfactory way, but hey, maybe it's a bit of freeform.
