A review by sarahdm
Compound Fracture by Andrew Joseph White

4.0

I really liked this and I honestly only have a few complaints.

I think at times, the politics and characters that represent those politics are almost cartoonist in presentation, like everyone is out here walking around drawn like a caricature. It doesn't feel as nuanced as I would like it to be. But also, I know that autistic people can sometimes see the world in more black and whites, and maybe that has a little bit to do with the MCs perspective of all these characters. I don't know.

Also, this kind of feels like this could have been way longer. Especially for a thriller, the tension feels like it has no time to build. 

But other than that, I really liked this book. The setting was a character all on its own and I really loved it. White's writing is amazing like always. The jaw scene was so gruesome, honestly worth reading this book just for that.
