The Girl with No Shadow by Joanne Harris
3.0
Rating: 3.25
This sequel was okay. I liked it at some parts, despised it at others, and was satisfied with the ending but wish it had gone on about their life afterward.
I got confused by the alternating narrators until I realized the images at the top of each character's part indicated the POV. I thought that it was bad, because it meant I couldn't tell the difference between the narrating styles of the three characters. If they are three separate personalities, I don't think I should have felt that they were all the same person.
I felt like the romance came out of nowhere (wasn't Roux with some other woman in Chocolat?) and the mother and daughter seemed too immersed in their problems to even try and talk to each other (which I felt was ridiculous; even a small conversation would have been more helpful in patching their relationship up).
