picketfences 's review for:

The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

3.0

challenging dark mysterious slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

i fought to finish this. the violence became frequent and bloody by the end, there were word choices that were questionable

(the leaves were demoralized??)

, and i got sick of all the dialog. the was less of a time travel vibe, more so a play on groundhog day.

i found the seemingly endless reiterations of the same scene from different perspectives exhausting.

i should have left this alone after i dnf the audiobook version a few months back. i was three chapters from the end this time and i almost dnf the ebook. in short, THIS WAS A SLOG.
