Rachel's Reviews > The Vaster Wilds

I struggle with rating books like this because, while Lauren Groff is unquestionably one of the most talented writers working today, this book was a slog for me. The prose itself is incredible, but picking up the book felt like a homework assignment I was making myself finish. Much like Ottessa Moshfegh's Lapvona, though much less masochistic, it's a very bleak read.

Writing: 4 1/2 stars
