Cornelius was a short quick read. The main characters Mira, Michael, and Sara were undeveloped. Readers are thrown into the story with a lot of emotional turmoil, yet I did not feel anything. The plot with the paranormal was not fleshed out. The moral undercurrent of the entire book was annoying. I love character redemption, but the 180 change for some characters was too sudden. The writing was easy to read because it felt more juvenile. The timeline of some of the characters' ages and family connections had me scratching my head. I wanted to really really enjoy this; however, it was underwhelming.
