one thing though about this book that offset the negatives was the style. ng indirectly shifts perspectives in the middle of chapters and dialogue. i think it works but takes away from a focal point. i wouldn’t have minded the book being a bit longer if it meant more character development.
writing was great but pacing was so off to me at parts. like it took 70 pages to get to the may ling/mirabelle baby thing mentioned at the very beginning and there are just a lot of drawn out ,predictable side quests. i get foreshadowing but having the twist at the very beginning that gets explained at the end just did not hit. the idea was there- execution not so much.
