Had some promise but very much a let down.

Revisado: 01-30-25

Didn't hate it but it was so boring. Feels like it's a book written by a young author thinking this is adult. Any twists were seen Iles ahead. Every now and then it seemed like it would finally get somewhere but never did. The characters were not fleshed out and the writing was just ok. Subtitle should have been women who are martyrs and how they rationalize it.

Seems book club liked it more

Revisado: 10-31-24

Just never got taken by it. It started out OK but felt it was one note Suppose to be historical but I felt like it was modern; maybe because the language was very casual. Also the reader ha an American accent which wasn't that in the 18th century. My book club really liked it and the main character. Actually, found her to be pompous and self-righteous in a way she claimed the doctor was. It was more disappointing because I felt it had a lot of potential.

Revelance to today

Revisado: 09-26-24

I have read some really scathing reviews from readers. I think I was the one who liked it the most of our group who read it. I thought it was well written and the reader brought it alive. it really struck me that I felt for the women. I thought, yeah, I can see why this happened. Then I related it to any group that is ignored and not valued. Also not being allowed to speak openly and ignoring science and experts also feels very today. I like dragons anyway but it immediately seemed so plausible. And I love how so much is optimistic.

Different

Revisado: 09-07-24

There were moments when it dragged a little but it was pretty intriguing. There were also a few things I felt were left unanswered but it was such a great combo of good storytelling with touches of supernatural. I can't often find that combo outside of stephen king. I could see a sequel.

In the minority but thought it was standard

Revisado: 04-04-24

Didn't think Molly was a fully developed character but maybe because it was Vivian"s story. Actually thought she was annoying although she is a teen. Thought the narration was subpar. Somehow a lot of people in mn sound southern. Might have liked it better if I read it. Not really a fan of books spanning lifetimes. Feels very Hallmark like but people seem to love this book. Just too predictable with a twist that didn't feel organic.

A good holly book

Revisado: 02-02-24

very stephen king although no supernatural things. some of my favorite characters. some may find it preachy, as he says, about the pandemic but it fits with the character and the variety of opinions. reader was excellent. mellow voice, kept characters distinct, just the right note of drama. enjoyed her a lot.

Just ok for me but most would probably like it.

Revisado: 08-08-23

I have not loved either of her books but I didn't think they were awful. Like a lifetime movie; kind of interesting but not quite memorable. Some really good moments but fairly predictable. Male reader is amazing. Female reader is too overwrought for my taste which surprised me because she's a really good actor. Dragged for me.

Not really that thrilling

Revisado: 04-28-23

Thought it was slow. So much so that I skipped ahead. Then it got better but just seemed under developed overall. Really didn't care about any of the characters. Steven Webber is wonderful and helped to tolerate getting through it.

Hard slog

Revisado: 02-12-23

Really struggled to get through this. The whodunit portion was maybe only 25%. The rest is a whole lot of talking that is uninteresting and doesn't advance the story. You have a lousy family. Yeah we got it. incredibly boring.

great listen

Revisado: 12-02-22

it has been hit and miss for me with the last few books. I loved this from the beginning. Of course, I was in the right mood for it as well and it ended just as I wanted.

Reader was excellent. Had no problems telling characters apart and he was very emotive. So much better than will Patton who I could never hear or differentiate.
