The Marsh King's Daughter by Karen Dionne
2.0
Y'all,
This book was boring.
The story line had a chance to be interesting but the author just missed the mark with her writing. It also seemed like the author kept repeating things she had already said and it wasn't anything that needed extra emphasis added to it. It was as if she were trying to fill space to reach her page quota or something.
I don't know. Maybe it was too soon for me to read another marsh story after reading Where the Crawdads Sing. They were completely unrelated story lines but similar enough that it matters that this author just can't write as well as Delia Owens (at least in this particular instance). I feel hateful saying it was boring because, I mean, what have I written? Nothing.
Anyways, you may enjoy this book if you're into stories about kidnappings, some suspense or deluded half-Native American, narcissistic antagonists.
