A review by lindentea
The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No

2.5

was super invested the whole time and it just flew by but like not gonna lie when we got to the point where every chapter was 1 page and they all had a twist i did start rolling my eyes. kind of wish we didn’t have the day-after timeline but i guess we couldn’t have

Jake, who TWIIIIIST didn’t die!

be there. enjoyed the misdirects but did NOT enjoy how on the nose and just basic some of the writing was in the individual povs. like idk man maybe we could have had good prose as well as twists and turns.

ALSO!

while the whole thing with the birds was super underwhelming — because why wouldn’t you have one of them orchestrate it, like maybe eddie’s mum, instead of or WITH jake ? — there was soo much potential. im annoyed that we didn’t get vigilante justice middle aged ladies except as a final twist and a teehee line at the end
