Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty

2.0

i really enjoyed the first third to first half of this book. i love a good mystery. and, aside from some very stilted feeling dialogue (why does the author almost never use conjunctions?), i was having a good time. the writing style wasn’t my favourite, and it seemed like the editing could’ve used another look at the grammar, but it wasn’t overly distracting.

but then the second half of the book happened, and everything just felt so contrived. i found myself rolling my eyes more and more often. it just felt… silly, i suppose. it’s a shame. the book really did have potential.
