zoeg97 's review for:

The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo
2.75
dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

good premise, badly executed. loved leigh bardugo's grishaverse books and was really excited about this one, but it was not what I expected. the first half of the book is too long and not interesting. story picks up in the second half, but can't save the first half. 

will continue to give this author a chance, but the familiar was not it.
