Midnight at the Electric by Jodi Lynn Anderson
3.0
I recently picked up Midnight At The Electric because the enchanting cover reminded me of the magical atmosphere in Night Circus. However, I soon discovered that the similarities ended there. While the book had potential, the pacing was off and the ending left me feeling underwhelmed.
📖 Plot and Pacing:
Midnight At The Electric follows the lives of three women from different time periods: Adri, Catherine, & Lenore. The story intertwines their narratives, connecting them through the mysterious Midnight at the Electric farm. The concept was intriguing, promising a blend of historical fiction & science fiction. However, the execution fell short.
The pacing was inconsistent, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the plot. I found myself longing for more depth and development in the characters' journeys.
💔 Lackluster Ending:
After investing time & energy into the story, I expected a satisfying conclusion that would tie all the threads together. Unfortunately, the resolution felt rushed and left many loose ends. It left me wanting more closure and a stronger sense of fulfillment.
🎠Character Development:
While the concept of three interconnected narratives was intriguing, the character development fell short. Adri, Catherine, & Lenore had the potential to be complex and compelling protagonists, but their stories lacked depth. I struggled to connect with them on an emotional level, which made it difficult to fully invest in their journeys.
🌌 Overall Impression:
Despite its captivating cover, Midnight At The Electric failed to live up to my expectations. The pacing issues and lackluster ending overshadowed the potential of the story. However, the book did have its moments of beauty and the writing style was pleasant. If you enjoy atmospheric settings and don't mind a slower pace, you might find some enjoyment in this book.
