The Murders of Molly Southbourne
by Tade Thompson
dark
mysterious
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
The premise/plot gets 10 out if 10 for me. Clones? Heck yes. Clones tryin to kill the original? Hell yes!
The writing, unfortunately, didn't work for me. It felt so stilted. Sometimes I thought that was intentional, because one of the characters was multilingual, but as that character had less time on page, I started to think that wasn't the reason.
I also didn't care about Molly. She didn't seem like a fully fleshed out character. I was interested in what was happening to her, but not actually her.
I really hyped this one up in my head, so I'm extra disappointed. I'm not sure if I'll continue the series or not. I'm intrigued by the premise, but worried I won't like the writing again.
