- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
My review may be biased on the fact that I recently read Tuesday Moody Talks to Ghosts and didn’t enjoy that one a little more than I didn’t mind this one.
Maybe a 3.5 rounded down? It just didn’t hold my interest enough to want to continue on through the series. Maybe that’s because I hated every single character? Maybe it’s because there was a lot of “Emily wouldn’t have wanted it this way” when Emily is insignificant and it doesn’t matter what a teenage girl would or wouldn’t have wanted? 🤣 She’s not even a main character or part of the main puzzle in my opinion.
Additionally, I felt that some riddles were guessable, and I suck at riddles.
The ending is the only thing that may have gotten me to continue reading, but I’m not sure I care for any of the characters enough to care how it turns out. (Maybe after some time away, my mindset will change).
