Sorrowland

The forest didn't mind illiterates and mad girls. Didn't mind that screaming was sometimes a person's only language.

This was my first Rivers Solomon and I hate to say it but I was definitely disappointed. I went into this pretty cold and wasn't really expecting the extreme fantastical elements – which I'll admit is on me. It's definitely a book that some people will love, but it was a little too out there for me. I had difficulty following some things and just didn't get along with the writing in general. I did appreciate how queer this was, though, as well as the messages Solomon was conveying. I have a copy of The Deep which I'll definitely also be trying out.
