A review by katemiller41
The Honey Thief by Elizabeth Graver
2.0
I feel like this book had so much potential and this author had a really great story to tell...but, she didn't quite tell it.
I reached the end of the book and had to sit back and think about the story (not a bad thing). the problem with this is that there was no resolution. Sure, the main character had a problem and then she overcame it, but the reader was not part of this transformation.
I feel like the author had all of the strings to this plot tightly in her hands, but she never found the right way to weave together the mother/daughter, bee/society, or sexuality/familial relations. As a reader I was left wanting more, but feeling like the door had been closed on my curious face.
Overall disappointing, sad face.
