afpena 's review for:

Weyward by Emilia Hart
2.5
dark emotional sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

My rating for Weyward is really because the story fell a little flat for me.  I've read a lot of other reviews that are around 2-3 stars and I agree with most other comments.  Just about everything awful that can happen to a woman does happen to at least one of the characters in this story.  There are no profound relationships that develop over the course of the novel so readers only get this slightest hint of the three protagonists interacting with those around them, even when the character is a close family member or close coworker.  The magical realism aspects are very unique, but also extremely subtle for the majority of the time.
