Okay first of all, I loooove the idea of this plot! Do I think it was pulled off in the best way possible? Unfortunately not…
The first 300 pages were so unbelievably slow and some chapters just completely unnecessary and yet after all that, somehow I still don’t feel like the characters were fleshed out or interesting enough even after hearing chapter after chapter about them.
I loved Evie, Theta and Henry though, I truly feel like I knew them by the end of the book. Everyone else fell a little flat for me, especially Memphis and Mabel’s characters (although I love Jericho’s back story, that was very interesting)
Some parts were creepy which I loved but just not creepy enough! (The whistling will haunt me..) I’d love to have seen more creepiness instead of many chapters about Evie going to speakeasies or talking about clothes… I understand the author needing to emphasise this was set in the 1920’s but I can set the scene myself…
I felt a little lost in places, the plot wasn’t super easy to follow for me sometimes, maybe due to the fact I didn’t care enough for the characters that were in the scenes.
The ending was well wrapped up though, with just the perfect amount of questions remaining about what might come next.
Unfortunately I don’t think I will be continuing with the series though.
