The Blue Maiden by Anna Nóyes
DID NOT FINISH: 13%

 DNF at 13%

I unfortunately found myself not excited to pick this up. I don't know if it's because I've recently finished a couple different novels set on small remote islands in northern Europe (Clear by Carys Davies and Whale Fall by Elizabeth O'Connor), but the slow pacing and similarities in settings didn't offer me anything new or exciting. Maybe I'll come back to this one in the future, but it just didn't start out giving what I hoped it would give.

Thank you to NetGalley and Grove Atlantic Press for advanced reader access. If the synopsis of this book sounds interesting to you, it published on May 14, 2024.
