A review by roochel
The Marsh King's Daughter by Karen Dionne

3.0

read for book club. granted, i haven't been in the mood for thrillers lately, so maybe that played a part here, but i found myself really just meh about this one. it was fine. nothing to write home about, but also nothing about it was bad. i didn't really love that the majority of it took place in the past, although i understood why it did. i think a lot of interesting psychological points were on the verge of being made here, but never quite completely.

i originally bought this book because alicia vikander was attached to star in the film version, so i guess i'm glad that she's not anymore, because it will probably be a movie that i'll pass on. (no offense, daisy ridley! still a fan, just not to the extent where i need to see every film you've been in!)
