Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth

mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

Story plot: the impact of cursed land over generations, with the focus of the storyline on queer women. 

Pros: unreliable narrative, the progression of the curse, difficulty identifying what is manufactured and what is real. 

Cons: the narration of the story often came across as preaching and annoying, constant POV shifting. 

My overall vibe about this book is idk. While I read it and after I finished it, I still don’t know what I think about this book or if I like or don’t like this book.
