paradiselcst 's review for:
The Telling
by Alexandra Sirowy
(( B E W A R E : there is only a spoiler in the third paragraph and most wont fully understand until they read the book so i’m not tagging it as spoilers!!!))
this book was pretty good at first but turned amazing about halfway through. there were a few slow parts at the beginning and another towards the end of the middle. other than those slow patches, i really enjoyed this.
after reading The Creeping and doing a little bit of research on this book, i had an idea of how the plot would turn out. with that said, all of my predictions were wrong 😂. if you ask me, both of the (major) plot twist in The Creeping and The Telling were equally outstanding. Sirowy was able to pull off both twists flawlessly and she left little to question
at first i was a bit confused when it came to Lana loving Ben but everything made sense and seemed. . . right. Sirowy didn’t make that part seemed forced, which i guess is the best way to write that?
the characters were thought out and there was some pretty good development with Lana and Caroline (and even Ben). for me, the core was a little hard to relate to but by the middle of the book i was (kind of) in love with them.
my only wish is another chapter at the end to tie up a few more things or to drag out the last chapter but i’m not mad about the ending.
overall, i really enjoyed this. i can’t really compare it to The Creeping because they were so different, yet very similar? if you were a fan of The Creeping, i definitely think you will enjoy this. if you haven’t read The Creeping but enjoyed this story / the way it was set up, i suggest you read it!!
