I have mixed feelings about this book. It's not the easiest read, which was a positive for the first half. Guasch's poetic style immersed me in the story. The narrator is trying to navigate language and identity in a broken world he doesn't understand. I liked trying to decipher the fragments of information through his eyes.

Around the halfway point, the roundabout language started to wear on me. I felt like the characters slowed and stagnated, which, while fitting for the desolate setting, made it difficult to stay engaged.

I'm ultimately glad I checked this book out. Napalm in the Heart is unique and requires a lot of interpretation on the reader's end. For this reason, I think it would be more fun as a buddy or group read.

Thank you to FSG Books and NetGalley for the chance to read this ARC for free. I'm leaving this review of my own accord.
