alicebv1995 's review for:
And the Trees Crept In
by Dawn Kurtagich
2.5/5 rounded up. Solidly average to me. It had a good creeping sense of dread throughout which I enjoyed but it did get repetitive after awhile. I found myself wondering if anything was ever actually going to happen or if the book was just exploring the feeling of being trapped and boxed in while the MC slowly dies. I didn’t care for the ending so much, as it felt like it had been done before. I also felt like the author was spoon feeding the metaphor to the reader in the end without giving the reader any credit that they’d be able to piece it together themselves, and that was a little frustrating. I’d be curious to see if I like other works by this author better because this book had a lot of potential!
