A review by allieoakesreads
Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar

3.75

I loved so much about this but generally struggled with the writing. The themes, imagery, characterization, etc. were so good… like I see the vision and I love the vision. But something about the style made it a struggle to get through. I felt that the writing was a bit boring and not as poetic as what I had expected considering the author is a poet first, novelist second. Still very good just not that engaging to me. I liked the different perspectives a lot though.
