Jules reviewed Under the Pendulum Sun by Jeannette Ng
Review of 'Under the Pendulum Sun' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
I'm not quite sure how to review this book - it's definitely not a bad book or poorly written, but it really wasn't to my taste and I had to give up three quarters of the way through because I was finding reading it so unpleasant. I assume no one mentioned the central theme of incest for fear of spoilers, but I would certainly have a appreciated this as a content warning and so am mentioning it in my review as I wouldn't have bought it myself if I'd known in advance. It does feature some extremely creative world building and some very clever literary and theological references.
