A review by narschlob
A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid

Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.
I wanted to like this the way I did the wolf and the woodsman but the protagonist is so racist in the first few chapters that I am having a hard time relating to her or her plight. 
Her flaws are too forward with too few redeeming qualities to encourage further reading. The world building is flat and feels too direct to even be allegorical. It's just not whimsical. It's not driven.
