[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I thought it was okay. Maybe a 3.5 if I had to give it stars. I enjoyed reading it. I do think a lot of my feelings towards a book have to do with expectation, and I was persuaded to read it because of some of the effusive praise. I thought it was going to be an adult novel with a fantasy but also literary bent. However, it’s really more of a YA book with some interesting world-building. I think I would’ve been bowled over by it at age 14 but as an adult, I found some of it too on-the-nose, many character choices baffling, plot point contrived, and the contemporary speech of the characters very distracting. These things aggravated me more as the novel wore on. I’m glad I read it but am not sure I’ll read another novel of hers until I’m really persuaded. [/quote]
