The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo

dark mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

this was a really interesting read! i think it would have been way cooler without the ties to the great gatsby, which i didnt even know there was a connection to until i started reading it which is odd, frankly. i think the time period, jordan’s identity, and the magical realism would have been effective enough.
