sara_h15 's review for:
Black River Orchard
by Chuck Wendig
dark
mysterious
sad
tense
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
This book could do with some major trimming down; when it was about the horror, it was fantastic, and I enjoyed the characters. But then it would meander for such a long chunk of the story, and I would lose interest. I like several of this author's other books, which were also on the chunky side, so I think the issue was only with this particular story.
