Wise Creatures by Deirdre Sullivan

dark emotional slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

I'm neither here nor there with this book. I was more interested in Daisy's past than Nina's present haunting. For a while I wasn't sure it was going anywhere, but when it did get somewhere, it was interesting enough. Sullivan's writing is really solid , but it never quite felt as atmospheric as I'd have like. I cannot fault Mansergh-Wallace's narration. She really made the writing come to life. Although the plot didn't quite grip me, I will say the characters feel so alive and the way friendships are written feels very real.
