Review previously placed on my blog:

I'm currently reading Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell. I'm reading a physical copy from the library for a buddy read. I'm reading this for a challenge video of reading outside my comfort zone with the topic historical fiction.

I'm not enjoying this so far. The writing is easier then I expected and pretty good. The story itself though is pretty boring to be honest. The "suspencefull" thing in the book was already mentioned on the back in the summary, so that suspence is already gone. The rest is just a little all over the place. Hope I will enjoy it more, but we shall see.

It became a bit better after the first part. There were just some things that really bothered me. For my full review: check out my youtube channel. 3 stars
