The Death I Gave Him by Em X. Liu

5.0

(ARC exchanged for an honest review via NetGalley)


NOW THIS. THIS IS HOW YOU DO A RETELLING.

Not only is the writing and characterization absolutely superb, but the construction of the plot and the way the narrative is set up as a post-event research project is just so completely up my alley of ‘favorite thing to be in a book’ I am just speechless. This book is so impressive, it grabs hold of you and refuses to let go until the very last page.
