O Caledonia by Elspeth Barker

1.0

I feel bad rating a book this low but I truly did not enjoy it. Her writing style is not for me, very flowery and full of metaphors. I prefer a more straightforward writing style. This is just a personal preference though. As far as the story goes I just didn't find it very interesting. There might have been some surprise in that the main character dies at the end but we're told that at the beginning of the book. The author tells us not to expect a 'who done it' so we don't but I found the conclusion to be more confusing and out of nowhere than shocking or exciting. The only saving grace was that the book was short and didn't take me very long to read.
