Black Iris by Leah Raeder
Brilliant, but fucked
Maddening
Darker than dark
Best mindfuck
I am not a patient person. This book tested that. I was contemplating a one star review halfway in. Because I was pissed! I needed answers and not knowing was irritating me. I felt played by the unreliable narrator and blindsighted by perfectly orchestrated, poetic writing. It surprises me to say this book took me out of my comfort zone, because I am good to read just about anything, but there were moments I could not finish this. No, my rating did not come easy. It was drained out of me, cleverly so.
Well played, Leah Raeder. Well played.
