3.0

This debut novel is based around the historical concept of sin eating - the idea that a person close to death could call on a ‘Sin Eater’ to spiritually take on their sins. 

The dying person would do this by confessing to the Sin Eater, who would then consume a ritual meal consisting of a different type of food to represent each transgression. 

This is a story about a young girl sentenced to live as a Sin Eater for the rest of her life.

This one was very dark, written well and had a very clever plot but I didn't like it as much as I thought I would.

Still gets 3 stars though!
