A review by dawncox
Painter of Silence by Georgina Harding

1.0

I hate abandoning books. I wanted to abandon this so badly. It was so slow and so uninteresting for what is actually potentially an interesting story. It's not exactly badly written, some parts are rather well written. However, it travels at snail's pace and I felt the details were mostly dull. As though the events were important to the characters but not for anyone outside of their lives.
A couple of parts I liked.
I didn't abandon the book. I plowed on in the hope that it would grow on me or that I would somehow feel more invested in the characters as the tale moved on. Believe me I am a reader with some serious staying power. After all, some people really liked this book.
I was wrong. I should have abandoned it and moved on with my life. Still, I suppose it adds to my reading challenge score.
