Snow Drowned by Jennifer Lyle
3.0
2.5 rounded up. I postponed reading this book to save it for my next reading slump. I thought it would be a strong pick that would pull me out of the after effects of a bad read. Boy was I wrong.
This book was okay at best. I think it wanted to be many things but unfortunately didn’t wear all of its layers successfully. While I finished the book, there were too many moments that I lost interest in how the story played out. What I found most interesting in the beginning was washed away by the middle. The turns in the middle became more and more predictable. Then by the end we get a random insert as if to gain the readers attention again while making no sense or connection to the overall themes of the book.
I should’ve just read this when I initially picked it up. It had the opposite effect than what I intended.
