mary_do_12's review

i thought i needed to give this book time but i’m on page 143 and this shit is boring asf. i have not witnessed a single relationship between any of the characters that caught me, the main characters just started to finally talk to each other (i thought you had no social skills until now) and even though there is this huge mystery going on, i couldn’t care less about it. did dear augustus von salzus kill lily? well, who cares. i don’t. i’m not gonna force myself to read the rest of this.

dark emotional mysterious sad slow-paced

I’m not sure how I feel. In some ways this was so beautifully written! In other ways I felt like I was very aware that I was reading a story and was kind of consciously suspending disbelief to get through certain sections towards the resolution. I’m satisfied with how it ended though.
