ciarrareads 's review for:

The Fields by Erin Young
4.0

3.5 stars rounded up to 4. I was pleasantly surprised by this. It felt kind of like a criminal minds episode on steroids, and I mean that in a good way. The reveals felt organic and I felt like I was realizing them at the same time as the protagonist, Sergeant Riley Fisher. I liked Riley just fine, although she could have done with a bit more personality.

I think it’s interesting that a lot of the reviews say they wanted less of the politics because I usually don’t like that in books, but thought they were really interesting in this one!!

My only complaint was that it started feeling like a few TOO many different threads needed to come together, and the end had to happen fast. Some of the storylines could have definitely been tightened up and combined, but the ending was still pretty satisfying.

I’m definitely interested to see where this series goes!!
