Tamie

TamieThis was a good story. I understand why this book is so popular for psychological thrillers. The characterization was fantastic. The author knew exactly how to give you a glimpse into their messed up minds and leave you questioning who to root for. I brought my review down to four stars because of the very slow beginning and the abrupt ending that was a bit disappointing. Other than that, I was pretty invested for most of the book and I absolutely loved the plot twists.

TamieKept me invested enough throughout and I liked the world building. However, even putting aside all the controversy, the writing was wordy and the story was longer than it needed to be. This was a long and SLOWWW burn. The two protagonists didn’t seem to have much chemistry, and there was no bridge between childhood friends to sudden romance. I could see where the author was trying to go with this. I love a sapphic fantasy (and I loved the bi representation!), but I’m unsure if I should pick up the sequel or not.

TamieGreat retelling of a classic story. Elizabeth was one of the most interesting characters I’ve ever read. The only critique I have is that the beginning was a little slow. The ending was abrupt but I still think it was great. It keeps you thinking about the book.
