The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo

dark mysterious tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

first of all, i think its saur unfortunate that i have such high expectations for her bc nothing will ever make me feel like what i felt reading six of crows, but i did enjoy this book and her prose is stunning, everytime it felt like she was writing another paragraph in the lives of saints i was hooked. i think i felt confused w the pacing and drive of this book and it took a bit to get into. i enjoyed the development of the characters and luzia grew on me immensely. and while that was all good, there was something overall that didnt make me Love this book. but really ill read anything by her even if the past few books have been only four star-ers for me
