Summary
Today I’m reviewing The Poisons We Drink—a dark fantasy that uses a Witcher-inspired concept to explore systemic racism, corruption, and power structures in a compelling way.
The worldbuilding and themes are definitely the standout here, tackling heavy issues through a fantasy lens that feels both unique and relevant. However, while I appreciated what the story was doing, I struggled to connect with the main character, who came across as unlikable for much of the book, creating a bit of emotional distance.
🎧 Tune in for my spoiler-free thoughts on what worked, where the disconnect happened, and who will still really enjoy this thought-provoking, theme-driven fantasy. Follow on Spotify for more fantasy, YA, and genre-deep dive reviews.
