We Were Restless Things by Cole Nagamatsu

3.0

I wanted so badly to love this. The premise was promising, the cover immaculate. Unfortunately, something about this novel just didn’t work for me. The characters were one dimensional and blended together throughout the book. The blurb made it sound like we were getting a mystery, but there wasn’t much of a mystery to be solved, and what little there was was explained too quickly. The plot was meandering and though I loved the dream chapters, I feel like we could’ve done without. I did love the setting and landscape descriptions, they were eerie and perfectly magical. I will absolutely check out this author’s future works.
