Why read it?
1 author picked The Poison Season as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The forest is hungry and the lake is thirsty and only outsiders can satiate them. Nature is its own intricate, brutal character in this artfully drawn novel about a girl who lives in an insular society protected by a seemingly vicious habitat. Outfits inspired by seasons and folklore enchant the mind’s eye, along with questions about whether the monsters in ourselves are scarier than those found in the forest deep or the lake’s depths.
From Autumn's list on glittering lethal societies and beautiful outfits.
