howlinglibraries 's review for:
The Wehrwolf
by Alma Katsu
dark
emotional
sad
tense
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Yes
And the main lesson history has to teach us is that it’s easy to slip the skin of humanity and become a monster.
This was absolutely brilliant. So powerful. The layers of metaphor woven into this story were beautifully done and I felt completely transported during this short little piece. This was my first time reading Alma Katsu's work, but it absolutely won't be the last; in fact, it made me immediately want to read more of her books.
What a horrifying reminder of how easily, and how painfully frequently humans become monsters.
