Tentacle

Short yet dense story. Translation-wise, I did not detect too many bumps in the road. Tentacle is an interesting premise that gets bogged down in places - especially in the early going where characters and perspectives shift quite quickly and with little guidance for the reader. This makes it a bit difficult to keep track of the characters and their relations but things do click together by the end. There is also some violent imagery and none of the characters are all that sympathetic. Not an easy read but I did enjoy the creativity and the juxtapositions between timelines. Glad I read it. Should another Rita Indiana title fall into my lap, I might be tempted to dive in.
