A review by ellieb_reads
The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin

4.0

I really enjoyed the concept - four siblings see a fortune teller as young children and are told the date of their deaths, and the books follows each of them as they approach their dates. Chloe Benjamin’s writing is excellent and often totally heartbreaking. But I did feel the novel was missing something, though I’m not sure exactly what. Perhaps a little more time with each of the characters? I felt like I had a much deeper understanding of the youngest and eldest siblings and their stories made sense with their characters. But the middle two felt like a more surface-level look at their identities, and then I felt almost blind-sided and confused by their decisions in the end. The pace and timelines were a little hard to keep up with as well, but overall I still really enjoyed this one.
