A review by thefancifulreader
The House Without A Summer by DeAnna Knippling
3.0
FAST FANCIFUL FIX
• I found myself quite intrigued by many aspects of the book
• Lucy was a character I very much enjoyed
• Marcus made for a good, flawed character
• The setting was really atmospheric
• I've never read a book set in 1816, so it was a good experience for me (and I was prompted to do some research about the real historical period which was fascinating)
• Unfortunately, that independent research is probably my favourite take away from the book
• The ending was a bit disappointing, felt like it went in a very strange direction
• Honestly, trying to sum up this book is difficult, it was a very strange combining of different concepts
• I believe it was several chapters too long
• There were a number of mistakes in the book, which I can normally ignore, however sometimes names were mixed up, which led to some confusion until I figured out the mistake
• Despite the mistakes, I quite liked the writing style
☆☆☆
