Minimal plot of a woman exploring a dystopian social “isolation”�
That was�. Interesting� I appreciated it� but would have enjoyed it if I got answers� literally any answers of why�

While the writing was complex and beautiful, the book’s aspects of plague, and medieval horror were drastically overshadowed by its heavy religious theology of condemnation, angels, God and a holy war.

If this is considered horror/fantasy�. The Bible should be classified as the same� ]]> ReadStatus9355265275 Sat, 26 Apr 2025 12:39:11 -0700 <![CDATA[Zhen is currently reading 'A Clash of Kings']]> /review/show/7520863247 A Clash of Kings by George R.R.
