maddierose 's review for:

The Night Watch by Sarah Waters
1.5
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I’ve absolutely loved some of Sarah Waters’ stuff - Fingersmith is definitely in my top 5 books - but this one just did not hit the mark. The characters are all basically the same and nothing really happens. I kept finding myself waiting for the twist or mystery. In short, it was deathly boring.
