morganbirck 's review for:
The Ensemble
by Aja Gabel
3.5 stars
I loved the writing of this book, and how it lilted and sped as if it itself was a song. I also thought the story itself was beautiful—following a quartet as they made their way through the world of music.
However, I ended the book feeling slightly disappointed. One, there were two plot lines that were left completely unexplored and unresolved at the end of the book. Two, you barely saw the characters interact or change and grow in real time.
Basically, it felt like the book left a lot of questions and though revolves around the four players in the quartet, didn’t delve deeply enough into the characters themselves, leaving me feeling a bit shallow at the end.
Overall, I really did enjoy the book, and would recommend it to others. Just maybe not a book I’d read again.
