Motheater by Linda H. Codega

2.5

---

I just couldn't get completely into this book. There were times when it was fine, especially with the dark, witchy atmosphere of the book, but the overall pacing was a bit slower than I liked so I got bored quite a few times and it took me way too long to get through it. I was not a fan of Bennie, but Motheater was a bit more complex and I appreciated that, especially with the other POV that dives more into her character. The ending was also disappointing. The characters go through so much, only for there to be an ending that just falls flat, even after all of that buildup. The romance was also just weird. Bennie and Motheater's chemistry was basically non-existent and then somehow their non-existent interactions turned into them falling for each other? Its pretty unbelievable.
