I wanted to love this one so badly, and I just can’t.
I disliked almost everything about this book. Especially Lucy.
The only positive thing I have to say about this book is I love the fact that the raven is named Thurl…Sadly an obscure reference to a voice actor from the 50s isn’t enough to make this novel even slightly interesting.
