A review by tani
Yellow Jessamine by Caitlin Starling
4.0
I've been waiting for my brain to let me write a nice, coherent review of this, but it doesn't seem like it's going to happen, so instead, I present you with mush.
What I liked about this novella:
- The writing style was really easy for me to slip into
- The ethical murkiness
- The creepiness of the infected, and the mystery of how they were becoming so
- The commitment to Evelyn as a hard-to-like character
What I didn't like as much:
- The vagueness of the setting
- The pacing, which was a bit slow
- The way the plot meandered to the conclusion
Conclusion: Gotta read Caitlin Starling's other works. She might be an author to watch for me.
