christiek 's review for:

From a Low and Quiet Sea by Donal Ryan
3.0

3.5 stars.

I was blown away by the first section. Loved it and spent the rest of the novel wishing to get back to that. I like the 2nd less and 3rd section least of all and by that point was practically disengaged. I found it interesting the way the book resolved, but I was so many pages past invested, that it failed to be satisfying. I wish the book had been structured entirely differently. I'll check out Ryan's backlist, but ultimately I was horribly disappointed in this book.
