A review by razz_otter
The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna
3.0
This was okay... I was intrigued by the plot and enjoyed the look at loss and grief. I appreciated Eva's grappling with who she is vs what she was supposed to be. There were some really great pieces too this book.
And I felt like the pacing wasn't great (that ending was FAST) and more than once was surprised by a choice a character made, so either they weren't written well enough or something else was off. There were parts that didn't make sense and were never explained (why would they have tattoos in a visible place if their existence was illegal?) And I rarely find romance in young adult novels that's well done and this wasn't an exception.
