The Fury
by Alex Michaelides
Thank you to Netgallery for giving me an early arc copy of The Fury by Alex Michaelides. This book will officially be published on January sixteenth in 2024.
The fury was one of my most anticipated releases of next year! Elliot is a excellent narrator, the way he shows and talks about the characters are interesting, the way he tries to get into their heads and predict how they’d react and interact in different settings/situations from a writers standpoint was fascinating.
I feel that Alex Michaelides writing compared to when he wrote Silent Patient shows he has made an improvement, I loved Silent Patient that ending was a surprise however I wasn’t particularly fond of any of the characters aside from Alicia, when we were learning more about the characters from Silent Patient it felt a bit tedious and slow. The characters were written out well, they were flawed just like our characters from The Fury but I couldn’t find myself caring about any of them particularly.
The Fury however I felt hooked from the beginning, the characters here have a bit more dept to them. I liked all of characters from this book, Lana’s character is beautifully written, she has to be my favorite out of all them. The story does have a slow build up until anything major happens but I didn’t mind it since I found the characters to be rather likable.
The ending, while surprising was just a bit disappointing to me, I wasn’t satisfied with it with how it played out at all, I was hoping for it to go one way but it went in a completely different direction then what I was hoping for.
