The Change by Kirsten Miller
dark
mysterious
tense
slow-paced
- Strong character development? Yes
4.0
This book was something' else...
Think feminist murder mystery + witchy elements + deeply descriptive so you feel like you are there
Things I enjoyed about this book:
- the feminist/pro-women vibes were STRONG. & I loved it.
- always here for witchy/magical realism vibes
- there were numerous twists and turns which really kept you on your toes
Things I struggled with:
- this book was slow; I would say the last 150 pages were by far the most exciting. While I love books that are deeply descriptive and have strong character development, it makes for a slow start, but nothing I wasn't able to push through.
- there were two characters with names that started with a C that I got mixed up regularly (idk why this was so hard for me but it was!)
- the behavior of men in this book makes you want to rage, which is the point of the book
CW: murder, sex trafficking, rape, assault, sexism
