How do you share your thoughts on a short story that you cannot talk about fully without the risk of spoilers as anything can be?
Easy, hide it behind a spoilers tag.
The Six Deaths of the Saint is my first Alix E. Harrow book and god do I wish I could read more right this second. The writing to start was stunning, using second POV to immerse the reader and make your thoughts intwined with the Devil, to make you feel trapped in this loop of death and rebirth with no way out.
The Saint herself was such a clever twist, but also a heartbreaking one. The use of the Devils memories as a way to make her believe she’s following a Saint was amazing, as when it’s revealed that she is in fact the Saint and will always follow the same path so men can have more and more power is so fucked but so beautifully done. I want more stories like this!!!
Overall, six stars, infinity stars! This is now in my top favourite books I’ll now always thinks about and force people to read.
