A review by meganlowe87
Hush by Dylan Farrow

3.0

I was initially really excited to read this book, but it’s all over the place.
I realise it’s a debut novel, but it reads as if it hasn’t had any editing guidance at all.
Things happen out of the blue, with little to no explanation, things switch and change and don’t make sense.
Shea is an infuriatingly naïve character who is supposed to be strong, but comes off as a little dense.
The journey of this book happens all too easily, with things just coming to Shea magically.
It’s simple, and the world building is weak. Nothing is really explained and just happens.
The writing style is also clunky as hell, with literally everything told to you and so many adverbs.
Ya fantasy is not an easy genre to dip one’s toes in, but I’m afraid this falls so short.
