A review by killerpancake
The Maidens by Alex Michaelides

mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

Things I did not enjoy about this book:
  • Every bit that involved psychotherapy. It seems in order for this topic to be interesting in books that it always has to be approach unethically.
  • The Greek tragedy themes feeling like window dressing
  • The extremely obvious red herrings

This just didn't do it for me on any level.
