In the Woods
by Tana French
Enjoyed the first two thirds; the relationship with Cassie, the mystery of the past and present mixing, the build of the story. Honestly, I had difficulty with Rob’s character—I think I’m just much less inclined towards male protagonists like this. And I did not love the ending at all. It wasn’t an issue that I had somewhat guessed what the outcome would be, but Rob’s character just completely fell off for me. And I really did not enjoy how the mystery from the past wasn’t moved forward at all! I understand that this was an intentional choice, but it just left me frustrated, particularly with how settled the present case was.
I did really love the idea of children seeing things differently, I wish it had been explored a bit more. The way that theme built alongside the plot was great, and I enjoyed how it got intertwined with archaeology and mythology and such. Still, I feel like the present case could have leaned a bit more into the supernatural stuff, like with the past one. Or left more unsaid, even.
