samgrill 's review for:
The Glittering Hour
by Iona Grey
I enjoyed this book until the little plot twist that reveals where Selina is. I won’t give any outright spoilers, but I will say that I rolled my eyes once it was revealed, and I’m tempted to give this two stars instead of three.
I also did not believe the love between Selina and Lawrence. It was not convincing. An author can’t rest solely on the tension between classes when developing a love story! I also couldn’t quite figure out how much importance was to be placed on Alice’s character. It felt like she was supposed to be a major figure, yet she read like a mere placeholder.
I read this because I liked “Letters to the Lost”—it was enjoyable. I’m still glad I read this, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as I expected.
