Force of Nature
by Jane Harper
I enjoyed this book. I left off the 4th star because it just missed the mark in a couple ways.
Jane Harper has definitely proven that she’s no one trick pony when it comes to this genre. I had high hopes after The Dry and she painted a really atmospheric landscape. The psychological tricks the bush played on those women really radiated through the pages and had me on edge.
This is the reason I can forgive a somewhat anticlimactic ending. Because the journey to get there was just so fun. While some found faults in the ending I found it to be very real.
The dialogue was a little lackluster compared to The Dry and the character development felt sort of non-existent (looking at you Carmen. Why do you even exist in this story anyway?) but I think the premise is important to remember in this instance. The women are become LESS developed and more feral with every page and with every night they are trapped in the wilderness.
Over all I enjoyed this book and read it very fast because it was the perfect pace and an extremely atmospheric setting that Harper really brings to life. It’s not perfect but not a waste of time either.
