tessinthecity 's review for:

The Perishing by Natashia Deón
2.0

I keep oscillating between a two and a three on [b:The Perishing|56993800|The Perishing|Natashia Deón|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1613578758l/56993800._SX50_.jpg|88462848]. The writing was beautiful at times, and I was consistently interested in the story, however, the plot just wasn't there. So many reviews have called this novel too ambitious, and I have to agree. Because we didn't get to the immortality arch until the novel was nearly over, I was left with far too many questions.
