The Shadow Land by Elizabeth Kostova
3.0

There are about 100 unnecessary pages in this novel, and they're all in the middle. I typically love description in novels, but there is a lot of extra fluff in here that turned out not to be that important. I wish we would have gotten Stoyan's story sooner and learned more about Vera and Nevin. The last 100 pages had me riveted. I loved the ending, but it also felt very rushed. Overall, it was a good book, but I would recommend Kostova's The Historian before this one.
