The Wicked Cometh by Laura Carlin
3.0
I have very mixed feelings about this book.
On the one hand it’s beautifully written; a dark, detailed and twisted tale with a streak of love shining right through the centre. Hester & Rebekah’s love for each other was built up subtly & realistically, the suspense of the narrative was drawn out just enough to keep me guessing but not so much I got bored waiting for the plot to thicken.
But on the other hand the ending felt a little rushed; even though it was a happy ending I would have preferred to see more of the two reuniting. Also as it does have a high level of detail whether it’s the sky, a room or a gross medical situation (and also dead bodies) I did feel very icky reading some parts which altered my position on the rest of the book.
Overall it was readable but I’m not going to re-read it
