sarahkatherin 's review for:

The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton
3.0
reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

I liked this book a lot at the beginning, but I didn't love any of the characters and I felt like I was told more about their depth than was shown to me. I also don't know a lot about the history of Amsterdam, and I wish the historical setting offered more grounded details for the reader. Longer than it needed to be.
