teerah 's review for:

The Shadow Land by Elizabeth Kostova
3.0

Mostly engaging but suffers from lazy, heavy-handed storytelling tactics. Tortured girl with a secret from her past goes to a new country to rid herself of her sadness; goes on adventure and comes out on the other side a renewed person. I would have preferred if more of the novel had focused on Stoyan and less on Alexandra.
