A review by erikwm
The Eighth Life (for Brilka) by Nino Haratischwili

dark emotional sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.75

I found the first half intriguing and even enchanting, in its dark own way, but then it started feeling very protracted, long-winded, garrulous. I did finish it because I felt I owed it to the great first half of the book.
