Sister, Maiden, Monster by Lucy A. Snyder
4.75
Whether you like this book or not, it will certainly be an unique experience.
This is pure gore and sex and body horror, which for me means it was great. A pandemic that evolves into a lovecraftian zombie apocalypse that was actually orchestrated by aliens with religious complexes? Absolutely wild. Every description is grotesque and tackles themes of sexuality, feminism, religion, capitalism and ecology.
The vibes are GREAT and so is the writing... The plot could be worked on. It's a very short book that tries to say a lot while also evolving a weird concept, so a lot felt superficial. The first two parts were very very interesting, but the final one felt a little too metaphorical and the pace suffered with a badly structured ending.
Still, I'm thrilled to read more from the author because this was a wild ride.
