The Vespertine by Saundra Mitchell

3.0

I always judge a book by it’s cover, and I was really looking forward to this one. It was a bit hard to read and a bit confusing, I feel there were parts of the story that should have been reordered or explained better or maybe just left out. The ending was pleasant and left me considering reading the next in the series. I wasn’t incredibly bored or struggling to get through this book, although I just finished one that was unbearable. I would say this book is best for high school level readers. Some of the language is confusing being set in late 1800s but overall not too difficult. The story has potential, I would expect the second book to be completely different. Maybe more focus on mythical/magic events?
