The Arsonists' City
by Hala Alyan
I'm just disappointed. Everyone speaks so highly of this book and don't get me wrong, there are parts that were sharp and powerful and moving and some beautiful prose. However, every single character is insufferable, mildly irritating, and frustrating. Every single one. There's soooo much cheating. Cheating is a trigger of mine in books and I was definitely put off. Also, while there were parts I liked, ultimately, it felt like nothing actually happened.
