All the Birds, Singing by Evie Wyld
3.0
Probably more like a 3.5/5 stars
I enjoyed this book and I loved the writing and the incentive story telling, but beyond that it just wasn't there for me.
I think expected more of a punch for the reveal and it was a little lacking to me. I also would've appreciated for the two stories to actually join together rather than just be two halves of Jake's story - they didn't really feel coherent at all. I enjoyed both of them but to have them connect in a more meaningful way would have been amazing.
It's really interesting to see character development in reverse, which is what we see with Jake in her background narrative, and that character development is great. However, the present-day forward narrative lacked some character development for me.
Overall a pretty enjoyable book with fantastic writing and an interesting story telling method, but for me was lacking in terms of plot and character development.
