Having read both The Silent Patient and The Maidens by the author I had high expectations. And boy were those met?! Thoroughly. Full Disclaimer not everyone likes how the author tries to make everyone a red herring and confuses you until the very end but I thoroughly enjoy it. It’s the Agatha Christie way of writing is what I call it :)
The story knows when to reveal what and the narrator is speaking to the audience directly so the fourth wall breaking style of writing is also something I enjoy.
Yays;
1. Fast paced, short chapters, every chapter kinda ends in a cliffhanger. If a story manages to pull me into the pages and zone out of my surroundings and zone into the plot like I used to back when I was a kid then it’s hands down a good read
2. The plot is like a whole maze that it makes you doubt your own mind, tons of plot twists and revelations BUT it is fairly easy to grasp the story which is a yay for me.
3. I love how the author has made the characters very dramatic. It might be corny for some people but I love it. It’s like those old classics, passionate, expressive and shocking.
Naahs;
1. I was not completely happy with the ending
2. Idk if this is a Naah but the story and characters aroused so many emotions in me that I still don’t know who I was rooting for at the end.
