👓The Folly of the World || Jesse Bullington

A gloomy read set in a flooded Holland, where whole towns are now underwater. Full terrible people doing terrible things, this book packs nice plot twists and leaves certain questions left unanswered (though we can certainly give a good guess as to what those answers might be). If you don‘t mind things lying more on the graphic side, it may be a good book to pick up.

3.75/5

Like all Bullington novels, this is a journey with a bunch of awful people where everything terrible happens to everyone all the time. Squidapus puts this between Enterprise of Death (like) and Brothers Grossbart (hate) on the scale of how likable everyone is. A bastard fallen noble, his lover a mentally deranged murderer and the scrawny diving girl they hire to get rich. Nothing goes the way you expect, truly surprising for reader and characters.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Yeah, Brothers Grossbart just wore me out. 5y
