A review by winecellarlibrary
The Sculptress by V.S. Alexander
4.0
After everything that happened in this book, the lack of a definite resolution at the end is extremely agitating. I’m highly considering removing a star based on this, but I’ll have to think about it.
Formal review to follow.
--------------------
I've taken a few days to ponder everything that happened in this book. It is a saga spanning many years in the life of the sculptress, so there is much to consider. Some of the events are rather unbelievable, especially for the time, such as when she goes to the front in disguise. The lack of definite resolution at the end still frustrates me. But, overall, I have continued to think about this book and miss reading it. I grew to care for Emma and what would become of her. For that reason, I have decided to keep the rating at four stars rather than reducing it to three. The narrator did a fantastic job. The book felt much longer than it was, perhaps due to the many years covered, but it kept up an appropriate pace.
I will include trigger warnings for explicit sexual content, abortion, death, and graphic descriptions of facial disfigurement.
I received a digital ARC of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and HighBridge Audio.
