The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw
3.0
dark emotional fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I can't say I disliked this one, even though the prose reminded me of Edgy Grimdark Fanfiction, it was a short story about monsters - and love. I think the gore effect is extremely lessoned by the puffed up prose, which, if you're not a gore fan makes it more palatable in a way? Still a fun read though.
