jo_22 's review for:

The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner
3.0
dark mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This was entertaining but I did not find the writing compelling. I wanted to know what happened so the plot was decent and I liked the connections across the different characters’ stories. I think the writing made the story feel 2 dimensional and I did not really empathize with the characters as much as I thought I would.
