The Poison Season by Mara Rutherford

adventurous dark emotional hopeful mysterious sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Genuinely torn a bit on this one. It had a painfully slow start and the end truly left me feeling like something was missing…but in general, once everything started moving, it was actually a pretty engaging and somewhat meaningful story about unlearning the lies around us. 

I also picked this up for the fox on the cover…which I have to say has basically nothing to do with the story, lol.
