A review by kangrantdanmei
The Puppet Maker's Daughter by Karla M. Jay
4.0
Decided to give this book 4 from 5 stars! I really love the ending, especially those who have 'found family' trope.
But, ofc it has its downsides too. I gotta spill the tea here:
1) Marika feels too detached from the reality presented in the book. When discussing the news, it seemed as if she were an outsider, not the MC. And she is more like a writer or someone from today's century discussing World War history. Her POV comes off as too knowing-it-all and doesn't align with what should be happening in the book's plot.
2) Imho, Marika is an unreliable narrator. Her narration jumps from A to H and then to X almost instantly, causing confusion for the reader.
3) The beginning of the book is a bit sleep-inducing, to be honest.
