White Fox by Sara Faring
2.0
The two main characters are interesting and fleshed out for the most part, but not enough to save this from the whole bunch of NOTHING happening. It started pretty promising, but I kept waiting for everything to get going and for it to mean something.
Underdeveloped setting, typical message of a woman greatly misunderstood by the public (but it doesn't really do much to show who she actually was) and a second half I couldn't really make sense of or bring myself to care enough to try.
Theres a lot of threads and they're all apparently really important but they don't really connect clearly. There's nods that the White Fox script isn't subtle, and yeah it's sort of boring and really over the top symbolism that's not that interesting.
The girls are interesting, but also don't really learn anything. Tai is obsessed with her phone and way too optimistic. Noni is cynical and condescending. I wanted them to find answers about their mother but it was all so convoluted the characters sort of get lost.
