A review by rachreadsbooks27
Castle of Water by Dane Huckelbridge

3.0

I flew through this book. And after enduring a ridiculous book hangover from finishing Migrations last week, that’s saying a lot. I loved it... but it was extremely pretentious. And not very feminist. Kristin Hannah blurbed the front cover and I couldn’t help but think, if only she had written this story. If she had, it would have been 10/10 for me. I also felt like the ending was a bit too indulgent and unnecessary.

And for a parent who is watching Moana nearly all the time, it killed me. So many scenes where lines from the movie popped into my head.
