MATRIX by LAUREN GROFF 

Ever since reading The Fates and The Furies a few years ago, I have been excited to read another by Groff, therefore Matrix has been a highly anticipated read. 

And I must say, I am disappointed. While this is clearly a brilliant novel, it’s not one that I enjoyed. I don’t want to put you off, of course, because I recognise that this book will be a favourite of some, but for others like me it might be a little too… dare I say… boring… 

I loved the concept because it was about a group of nuns in England and the story of how a young girl arrives at the abbey when it is poor and cold and gradually makes it rich. We read the progress from a distance, however, and I felt like I wanted a closer character study. The story moved forward in time very quickly so there was rarely a chance to get comfortable with the character. Having said that, I did admire and love the main character. 

I think it boils down to the storytelling because I think I could have loved this had it been told in a different way. 

What did you think of this? Are you planning to read it if you haven’t already?
