tjlcody 's review for:
The Tenth Girl
by Sara Faring
DNF.
I feel like this book could be better appreciated by someone with more patience than me. This is a very dense book with a lot of details and filler, and a significant portion of it is just not interesting to me.
The problem is that the tension is taken almost completely out of the book by the introduction of Angel (who, btw, I had no idea was a boy until I saw someone mention it here). By introducing him as a ghost (or whatever) and showing ghost-POV here, the mystery and tension of Mavi's perspective is impacted; I know exactly what those crashes and sounds and strange occurrences are. The mystery is gone.
Had Angel's perspective been cut- or maybe severely reduced- not only would the tension be greater, but the book would have been a much more manageable length.
