White Fox by Sara Faring
3.0
I was offered a free copy of this book in return for an honest review.
Right away, I was pulled in by the mysterious atmosphere of what this story was truly about. The way the chapters are broken up by narrator worked well, especially since one of the narrators (Boy) is such a unknown factor and gives such sinister vibes. The script like quality to the portions of “White Fox” sprinkled in had a ethereal fairytale feel that I liked but that never manifested past a shallow veneer.
Right around halfway through I started to get frustrated by being constantly reminded of the girls’ personalities, I either wanted answers or more high-stakes mystery. SOMETHING other than what felt like a groundhog’s day-esque repetition of Tai is the manic pixie dream girl and Noni is the pensive anxious wallflower.
The action picked up nicely at the end. The ending felt reasonable and well explained.
