The Women in the Castle
by Jessica Shattuck
If only the first half had been as good as the second, perhaps it wouldn’t have taken me a year to finish. I could’ve done without the final chapter, the previous chapter was a very fitting end to a group of marginally likable characters. The final chapter just served to tie up a loose end for a character I had forgotten about. I wish the women had more substance rather than being talked about as though we as the reader should care. I found some moments sad certainly but none moving. I cried my eyes out with The Nightingale, but didn’t even come close to welling up with this book. It’s a bummer because I desperately wanted to read it, it sounded amazing, but I’m the end I just wanted to be done with the story.
