laineykmartin 's review for:
The Marsh King's Daughter
by Karen Dionne
Here are my main issues with this book:
1. Main character is the worst. I understand she doesn’t know any better or any different, but seriously. When she asked her mom why she doesn’t understand why kidnapping is wrong, I wanted to pull my hair out. She also treats her mother like garbage. That poor mother is the true victim here.
2. This book is neither thrilling nor suspenseful. The back cover even has a quote from KARIN SLAUGHTER who writes the most twisted messed up books I’ve ever read saying how great and thrilling this book is. I don’t understand.
3. Basically this entire book took place at the marsh in the past. I thought it was going to be more about the present where she is trying to hunt him down. I find it hard to believe that only one person found them in the 12 years they lived there.
4. There are really only 2 main characters in this book and I hated both of them. No character development of her daughters, husband, mother, grandparents, anyone.
5. The dog 😭
