riestenberger 's review for:

Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak
4.0

(Writing this SUPER late, oops!)

After absolutely loving [b:The Book Thief|19063|The Book Thief|Markus Zusak|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1522157426l/19063._SY75_.jpg|878368] and [b:I Am the Messenger|19057|I Am the Messenger|Markus Zusak|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1398483261l/19057._SY75_.jpg|2737065] I HAD to read this. And honestly, I was a bit disappointed. The storytelling and prose were beautiful... but nothing really happened. It all felt like a lot of set up and then nothing ever became of it. I still gave it 4/5 because the characters and backstory were so nicely developed... they just need to go somewhere.
