A review by booksandbrewslondon
Avalon by Nell Zink
In Avalon, we follow Bran’s attempts to escape her dire upbringing and make a better (??) life for herself - Bran’s journey to ‘basic bitch’.
Avalon had strong characters, but their pseudo-intellectualism and edgelord humour felt a bit over-cooked to me. With that said, some of the ridiculousness and punchy writing kept me engaged. Overall, I felt it missed the mark.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for access to a digital proof of this novel in exchange for my honest review
