Just finished this one on audio. I liked the full cast and listening to Gentry speak in his Old English rather than reading. Greenwood does a great job of creating dysfunctional stories and characters and still drawing in the reader‘s empathy. My only qualm was Gentry hearing voices as an autistic person. In my experience that isn‘t a trait of those on the spectrum and seemed to portray him as “crazy” rather than different.
After reading Bryn Greenwood's All the Ugly and Wonderful Things at the recommendation of Ashley and being blown away by its complexity, the questions it posed, and the easy answers it resisted, I was eager to read her follow up, The Reckless Oath We Made. When we chose this one as our Unabridged Book Club choice for February, I was even more thrilled.
As often happens with books I'm really anticipating, then, I kept putting this one off: ⬇
This book will be polarizing. You will love it, as I did, or you will throw it in the DNF pile. Either way, you‘ll admit, this author can write about gritty topics that will reside in your head for a while. ❤️
Other than Gentry, I found all the characters bland or annoying.
I found the writing poor compared to Bryn's other novels.
