House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig
3.0

Enjoyable, but I wish Annaleigh had been less passive about the things that were going on around her. I’m not sure if she ever actively changed any of the events going on around her. Sure, she solves the mystery at the end. But even at the end, she doesn’t help herself or anyone else at all.

And also, I’m confused by the epilogue. It feels like the author wrote the book, and then was reminded that all books must have a Happy Ending(TM) and just thought, “Ok, so how can I fix this in as few words as possible?” It was a cute scene but brings up a few questions that don’t have answers.
