The Eyes Are the Best Part - Monika Kim
I kinda feel like I’ll have a love/hate relationship with this book cuz it was all grizzly gruesome yet the pacing, writing etc were done well! I hated all the characters but like I could also see parts of humans I’ve known in them and like everything was quite real and detestable and like even the way Jiwon just kills people, I felt it was done realistically. The brain tumour took me by surprise and i was kinda hoping it’d get to something like her tumour affecting a part of her brain that makes her delusional and all and she didn’t actually commit those crimes but her mind just associating and linking stuff together that way but sigh
I knew she’d be pinning it all in Geoffrey and much as I detested that character, I felt a lil pang of sympathy for him being caught on the scene like a deer in the headlights and also questions like if he’d followed her everywhere, how did he not know about everything she does. How is he so unaware and so deep in his obsession that self preservation’s never considered? I half expected him to blackmail her to get together with him with the knowledge he’s got but apparently he’s unaware? Also, how does she get away leaving no trace or dna like are the officials just that lousy and not really doing a full investigation when there’s a definite pattern of serial killings going on? I really do enjoy books that explore the psyche of criminals and I like how the characters here were kinda relatable but like you could see the psychopathy within all the same. I’m not sorry for the dad and for what he has coming nor am I too sorry for George but I do feel bad for the innocent ones who get targeted for their blue eyes.
Nothing about #splinterlands in this post.
