citrus_seasalt 's review for:

The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw
4.5

Buddy read with Alex(obscurepages)! Surprisingly contained for a novella, pretty writing(though the prose can be a little much sometimes) with some very descriptive horror and gore, morally questionable queer people…definitely captures the “twisted fairytale” feel in some parts. Was also not expecting the end to pull on my heart as much as it did. (Could that be a pun??)

anyhow I definitely had a lot of fun reading this but I don’t know if I have it in me to write a long and complicated review, bless.
