A review by bookish_kirst
Darker by Four by June CL Tan
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
2.5
Firstly, thank you to NetGalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.
I was really looking forward to this one, I loved the premise of the story and the whole Chinese mythology tie-ins, but unfortunately, it just fell a little bit flat. It started out really strong but as the book progressed it felt more and more rushed, like there were too many ideas trying to be rammed into one book. The ending was super rushed and ended up being a little confusing. I also felt like I couldn’t really connect with the characters.
I just struggled to find the motivation to keep picking this up and therefore it took me ages to get to the end.
Over all - 2.5 stars.
