hariko 's review for:

The Other Valley by Scott Alexander Howard
3.0
adventurous dark emotional sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

An interesting concept.


The first half of the book was very slow for me, I found it quite hard to feel invested and questioned continuing. But I got very into the second half, especially the end (which was a shame because it was the end). I am glad though that I continued reading as it was bittersweet. I just think that it left me with a lot of unanswered questions - which of course could be the point!

Reminded me a little bit of the TV show 'Dark'. Anyone else?
