jcfolak 's review for:

The God of the Woods by Liz Moore

0.25

adventurous dark sad medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

---

Stupid book. Included unnecessarily upsetting details about the characters lives. Child abuse was rampant throughout. 
 Might have been palatable if we just focused on the first conflict. The book ended up just being written for a shock value. 5 thumbs down.
