Finished:
Cloud Cuckoo Land, by Anthony Doerr – 4.75/5*. A new favourite.
The Buried Giant, by Kazuo Ishiguro – 3.5/5*. I found the writing style different to what I am used to. I loved the use of allegory though.
The Lamb, by Lucy Rose – 3.75/5*. Very, very disturbing. The short, quick chapters made it quite hard to allow the narrative to flow but overall, a good book if you don’t mind disturbing fiction.
