Together We Rot was one of my most anticipated reads of 2023. I was so excited to see it being offered by Bookish First. I stayed awake past midnight (just to make sure I could get my hands on it) and claimed it with my points.
I was drawn in by everything - the title, cover and summary, but the cover art is what first caught my eye. This is just the type of book my young-adult- reading heart yearns for. The writing style, character development and world building were all great. The story was unique and fleshed out well. I enjoyed the fierceness of the Wil, and the vulnerability of Elwood. It took a long time for the story to start, but when the speed of the plot picked up it was great. The pacing was mildly inconsistent here and there. I'm not a fan of alternating POV but it was necessary here. Overall, execution was a solid 4 stars. I'm impatiently waiting for more work from this author.
Thank you to Bookish First for offering this title in their catalogue. All the opinions expressed in this review are my own.
