Eu não tinha lido uma fantasia anarquista antes, então foi legal experimentar. Decidi fazer a leitura sabendo somente o nome e confiando nas recomendações de outras pessoas que participaram da readathon dos direitos trans de 2024.
Para um livro curto de 130 páginas, eu senti que ele foi bem completo. As explicações das personalidades, objetivos e relacionamentos foram ótimas, meu único problema foi a descrição física dos personagens; não consegui visualizar ninguém.
Recomendo para quem quer uma leitura rápida cheia de mistérios, magia e cervos sobrenaturais.

*I listened to this as read by the author on the CZM Book Club Sunday episodes of the podcast It Could Happen Here posted between October 8th and October 29th, 2023.

I liked most of THE LAMB WILL SLAUGHTER THE LION. It has some interesting ideas about punk and anarchism as import elements of the setting and plot, but some of that was conveyed more by the CZM book club commentary than the actual text. Since there isn't an audiobook, that was a great way to listen to the story. It feels like a cross between a modern fable and an anti-police procedural, as Danielle is trying to figure out what's happening in the punk settlement and how to stop people from dying. As the first book in a series (current of two books but there might eventually be more), this functions almost completely as a stand-alone story, then at the very end it specifically sets up the idea of more stories to come. The ending felt a bit too neat, as all of a sudden everything was solved and the problems are fixed, which definitely contributed to it feeling like a fable where the lesson is more important than any realism.
