A review by xandrarama
Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust

Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.

I thought this was going to be right up my alley, but despite the genuinely intriguing Persian fairy tale premise of the book I just could not get into it. The characters felt lifeless and I couldn’t bring myself to care about what happened to them no matter how objectively exciting the action became. Maybe I should have stuck it out longer but 40% was as much as I could do.
