The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo
dark
mysterious
reflective
tense
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
4.5
I'm a simple reader: Bardugo writes, I wait with bated breath for every book.
There's a great cast of characters and Bardugo is great at keeping the strings of the story in her hands. She combines real historical elements and myths with magic in a seamless way.
Luzia and Santangel's dynamic shares some similarities with leads of her other work, and it's a dynamic I am always happy to read more of.
There is a feel to the story that reminds me a little bit of Joanne Harris' works.
