hannamy 's review for:

Luckenbooth by Jenni Fagan
3.0
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

There are moments and characters in this book that I love, but it feels as though it needed longer to stew. The third act seems somewhat unnecessary, I would have much preferred to learn more about the characters in the first two parts. The book straddles the genre line when it really ought to be more decisive about what it wants to be.
