4.5⭐️s rounded up for Goodreads 

In true Starling fashion, The Starving Saints is a bit of a slow burn, supernatural, horror-fantasy. And as always with Starling's books, I feel like I need a re-read. Like, this is probably a 5 star read, but my brain didn't fully retain and/or appreciate what I experienced.
I went in fairly blind, as I tend to do, and (SPOILERS) medieval delirium with both accidental and purposeful cannibalism was definitely a fantastically gross surprise. 
Starling doesn't write the same book twice (each is wildly different and original).
However, I often ask myself these questions regarding Starling's characters. 
"Do I like them?!" 
"Should I like them?!" 
"What is wrong with me?!" 
Because yes, I end up loving them for one reason or another. They're always interesting, intelligent, and often morally grey. Phosyne, Voyne, and Treila are beautifully flawed. Aymar Castle and the Saints are a fever dream.
