Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge
3.0
Looking back, this novel reminds me a lot of the netflix hit "Stranger Things": both want some explanation for the great world beyond which is a central figure in the story.
As a reader, I was left with too many questions for this to be a great read. The concluding chapters make me ask so many questions and open so many doors that could have been better explored throughout the pages. The incessant self-hate by the main character also is a bit grating, and leaves me not necessarily caring too much as to her fate- I am far more interested in her love interest in the story. But even this has no true closure.
While I grasp for some answers, I will probably not read any sequels- the writing and lingering questions along with missed opportunities leaves too much on the line for me to risk remaining unsatisfied at the conclusion of another volume.
