The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo

3.0

This book really failed to wow me or capture my attention. I love all of the other Leigh Bardugo books I’ve read, so I don’t exactly know what about this book didn’t work for me. The love story wasn’t entirely believable because I couldn’t understand their connection or the quick escalation of their romance. I also felt that the whole “pure” virgin flower with a centuries old man thing was weird. Couldn’t get behind it and the way her “purity” was written. I liked Valentina and wished we got more time with her character. The story just seemed to lack depth and while the inquisition parts were interesting, I felt like I always knew where the story was going.
