The Silver Wind by Nina Allan
1.0
I wanted to like this book.
I just, couldn't. I'd give it 0 stars if I could
This book was incredibly slow with getting me invested. By the time I grew to care, we were off to the next short story. I didn't feel attatched to any of the characters because we're not given enough of them to draw links to simularities in the timelines etc... There were also just. So many characters. I didn't care.
Dora's only role is to die? Normally I don't care if a book is male dominated but when Dora was made out to be by the blurb, the fact her main role was to have sex with her brother and die was disappointing.
The world-building was confusing. I didn't read the extra bits, putting the book down at the end of Timelines. Owen's conversation was just a big infomation dump and didn't explain anything for me.
Also this book features incestous relationships and no characters appear the slightest bit disturbed by this fact. Nothing important came from the main relationship being incestous.
