A review by beillumined
Serena by Ron Rash

4.0

I really enjoyed the storyline of this book. I found it fascinating, I found the characters fascinating, I especially found Serena herself to be fascinating. But I wanted to know more, and that's what I never got out of it. I never got the "why"... we got to read bits and pieces about Serena's past... like, oooh, she burnt down her house and all the photographs, how mysterious. But what does that tell us about her? Well, heck if I know. Sure, she might be a little insane. Sure, she's pretty driven. But why? I wanted some background on her character. On all the characters. I felt like none of them had any dimension to them. I never connected to any of the characters. And I really did not understand the ending. Who was who at the end? It was an intriguing book over all, so I did enjoy it very much, but I can't give it 5 stars because of the lack of character development.
