Sixteen Souls by Rosie Talbot
adventurous
dark
mysterious
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
I read this for my bookclub and it was fun!! :)
(positive)
- loved most characters, and even liked the main character towards the end (great character development)
- such a cool idea!! would love a sequel or a prequel
- i really liked the writing!
(negative)
- Just overall, my main issue with this one was the world building and the pacing. Would have loved to learn more about the world, i have way too many unanswered questions. And it felt pretty slow in the beginning and then rushed in the end.
- the random transphobia from the main character.. this didn't need to be in the book (was a huge critique point at my bookclub meeting too)
- just lots of trauma that kinda didn't get questioned mhh
