The Amber Shadows by Lucy Ribchester
1.0
This book was ... chaotic, it felt rushed, it felt unfocused and then almost too obsessive ... it took me almost three weeks to read less than 500 pages and I can say I only finished it because I received a copy from Netgalley and felt an obligation to read it to the bitter end.
Honey was a difficult character to relate to - she seemed paranoid for absolutely no reason and she seemed to become obsessed with events, almost to the point that it felt like the story didn't move along until we hit the 80% mark. And then at that point it almost felt like a completely different story emerged. One that could have been more interesting than the original, but alas, it was too little, too late.
I was initially drawn to this story because it takes place in Bletchley during the second world war, but really, this was a story about a typist who was caught up in past lies. It was muddy and simply didn't do anything for me.
I can't recommend this book.
