Bridge of Scarlet Leaves by Kristina McMorris

2.0

This was a rough one and not just because of the WW2 setting. I struggled to push through, it just could not hold my interest for long sets of time. The fact that the author did not lay out the passing of time well contributed a lot to this. Having a line sprinkled here and there saying "3 months passed", "Nine months later", "4 years____", did not do the job of having the reader feel that amount of time had passed. It just confused me further because I would then have to try and adjust what I had read up to those statements. Knowing that the ending would not happy, but sad did not encourage the feeling of wanting to know what happens next. I was just cautiously reading and waiting for the sad event.
