A review by nicoleh3
The Path of Thorns by A.G. Slatter
Did not finish book. Stopped at 54%.
ARC received from NetGalley.
I enjoyed meeting each of the characters and learning more about their world. The biggest fault with this story is that the narrator knows so much more than the reader and does not reveal nearly enough information to keep the story engaging. I tried reading to find out more and was disappointed with how much has still not been revealed 50% of the way in (we still don’t know exactly why she’s at the house and what she’s ultimately planning to do). With the things that have been revealed... they feel melodramatic and shallow. I gave it a shot and now I’m just tired of it.
