The Glass Forest by Cynthia Swanson
4.0
I usually have issues sometimes with POV changes - one chapter from Angie's point of view, another from Ruby's, a third from Silja's - it can be distracting. However, it was well done in this book. Not only did POVs change, but tenses, also. Angie chapters were in first person, past; Ruby had present tense, third person; Silja was the typical novel style of third person, past. It was a great way to get a true feel of the story in the novel.
I instinctively disliked one of the characters very early on, but not until the audience was given a reason to hate a second character did I hop onto that train.
I did enjoy this book and would recommend it. Be careful, however, as this is one of those books that can ensnare you and you find yourself saying "one more chapter, just one more chapter" until it's nearly 1 A.M., you have work the next morning, and you realize all that after you've finished the last page.
