alannaredwood 's review for:
The Shivering Sands
by Victoria Holt
mysterious
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Plot
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Really delicious to read, but the cop-out ending ("Major character is secretly a psychopath" is the lamest trope in the book, especially when said major character is a kid. Oh how shocking. Never saw that coming. Narrator: She saw it coming and hoped she was wrong. ) and mild racism knocked it down from what would've been four stars.
