by Marie Benedict
adventurous
mysterious
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Plot
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
I liked the premise of a group of famous female writers getting together and befriending each other, as well as supporting their work, and trying to be seen as equal in a male-biased landscape. But I had a hard time connecting to the characters in the story and kept losing interest in the plot line.
The mystery itself was rather slow, and often repetitive, as well as very predictable. I wanted to like it but I just kept getting bored, I think in part because the characters felt a little flat to me, and at times, not believable.
All in all, interesting concept in general and was glad to be introduced to the authors I knew little about.
Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book. All opinions are mine.
