clotalksbooks's review against another edition
dark
mysterious
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Loveable characters? No
3.5
The multiple points of view and timelines worked well and kept my interest. I was desperate to solve the mysteries. The short chapters also made it feel quite fast-paced.
It is a dark book, with some surprising twists. I would have liked a bit more explanation and exploration into some of the stories and character motivations, particularly Lucienne's. I could have quite happily read double the length to get that!
