A review by shighley
The Lost Girl by Anne Ursu

2.0

Thanks to Edelweiss for an advanced copy. So... much.... whining. This book would have benefited from a different timeline. Finally, something of consequence was revealed when the eBook showed I was 50% through, and then something else finally at 80%. Then in the second half, a couple of chapters were thrown in with a different narrator. The reveal for that was good, but by then I just wanted to be done. My mother was an identical twin, and I usually love twin stories. There was so much self-doubt (yes, I realize they are elementary-aged girls), and at times the characterizations seemed a bit muddled. Who was the strong one? Who was willing to speak out? That seemed to keep changing.
