cwerber's review against another edition

adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

It started off slow for me and unfortunately, I got Eleanor and Adelaide confused several times. 

But once I got to the middle then it picked up. I think the last quarter of the book with the preacher was the worst because he was an odious character. 

Anyway, I recently discovered that there is another book. So, I guess I will check it out and read it.
