The God of the Woods by Liz Moore

3.25

adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

It was slow first half but it had me intrigued enough to keep going. Really liked the mix of characters however the multiple perspectives with a mixture of time jumps was a bit of a challenge for me to get used too. I did really like all the relationships between the characters and finding out how they all connected. I also feel like the mystery was a marketed a little differently than it should have been, not to say that it wasn’t good it just had me a little confused on where to put my focus. I enjoyed the ending but I’m not sure it was totally worth it in the end. I’m pretty excited to talk about it in my upcoming book club meeting!

This might also be a hot take but I could totally see this being a pretty good movie with the way to the story was formatted.
