The Angel Maker by Alex North
3.0
This book had me hooked in the beginning. I was so excited to see how each shifting POV intertwined to create an entirely different story than the one I first imagined. I was surprised, however, disappointed in the same breath.
Sweet Katie, a little overly cautious but rightfully so after assuming guilt for her brother's attack that left him disfigured all those years ago. And then Chris -- the outsider, and complete outsider to the world's whole plan it feels like.
This story is like an ever-evolving map meant to confuse the reader yet draw them in. Like I said, in the beginning, I was all in. However, as layers were built on top of each other and stories began to try and meld together, I simply got a little more lost and figured the predictable aspects. The story really slowed down after about half way through and I found it really difficult to finish.
The descriptions in this book were very well thought out, and the story-building was good. There were some twists and turns that I didn't predict, however, the more complex the story intertwining got, the harder it was to follow.
