A review by lanidon
Strega by Johanne Lykke Holm

2.0

Apparently some people like the writing style but it just wasn't for me. The book is entirely comprised of short staccato sentences which leads to this monotonous rhythmic feeling. I don't know whether the original swedish is the same or if it was the translator's style. The book is very much "no plot just vibes" which also isn't my taste, but I feel like to make that work in general you need really sumptuous and rich writing. I finished this because it was short but I got nothing out of it
