The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
emotional
mysterious
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
3.5
Great concept and story, and has a lot of lore that was under utilised in my opinion.
A lot of things could have been explained in more details because the plot is almost Black Mirror-esque but the main character never reacts to how fucked up what he's living through is.
It's heavily implied he has been stuck in a loop for a a few decades and he's not even shocked by that revelation, come on.
The main part which is the mystery was great and I liked the back and forth in the timeline which kept things more interesting.
As others said, it would have been better without the fatphobia and the rapey character.
