blueshadow 's review for:

Endless Water, Starless Sky by Rosamund Hodge
3.0

I typically love Rosamund Hodge's writing - and to be fair, I did like the writing of these books quite a bit - but I did not enjoy reading them very much. Zombies and necromancy simply don't appeal to me, and had I not enjoyed some of Hodge's other works so much, I never would have tried this book. But in the end, excellent writing was not enough for me to enjoy characters with constantly shifting alliances, frequent betrayals, and I quickly lost track of who was alive, dead, living dead, revenant, how many times dead, and so on. I liked some of the issues Hodge tried to address, but didn't relate very well to the characters and therefore didn't relate very well to the issues either. The ending, however, was a clever way to resolve a hopeless situation.

In the end, good books, but not really my kind of thing.
