A review by mollyss
The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton

4.0

Find this kind of difficult to rate! I love her writing style and it is so descriptive and very captivating especially given its 850 pages - but I do think that 50%-70% was tough to get through and made some of rhe plot feel a bit murky because it was so densely written. I actively tried to read it slowly to make sure everything got into my. brain but it didn’t feel like it had a moment where it all clicked together, and I was surprised it ended so quickly because I was still a bit confused by the plot.
Loved the use of period vocab tho!

ON REFLECTION I have been thinning about this book a lot since finishinf it which I feel like is the sign of a rly
Good book
