Anna by Sammy H.K. Smith

2.0

Sammy H.K. Smith’s Anna should be a book that I love. A dystopian tale about a captured woman who escapes only to discover her past has come back to haunt her? Anna sounded like a book akin to Room, albeit much darker, and I couldn’t wait to read it. However, this novel unfortunately was flat in all aspects. With little world-building and character development, and only vague descriptions of people and places, this novel never fleshed out to its true potential. I felt myself bored throughout most of this narrative, and found it a chore to pick up this novel.
