Bad Beginnings by Jen Bair
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
3.5
This was a fun read. The main character, Enid, had a great deal of character development throughout the book. She started off a rather unlikable character who while capable of great empathy, chose to withhold it from so many. Even understanding the reasoning behind it, I found her callousness off-putting. By the end of the book she had shown immense growth. I still wasnt a fan of her, but I could see her potential. In short, she was a believable and complicated character.
The rest of the characters were not as complicated and well developed, but the groundwork was there for future books in the series.
There were multiple plot lines, related but separate enough that some could be resolved within the immediate story, while leaving an interesting over-arching plot for the series.
