emmalouisepip 's review for:
The Sisters Grimm
by Menna van Praag
The first few chapters interested me. Giving me high hopes for the rest of the book. But at some point, I'm unsure of when, I started to zone out. At times the story felt a little repetitive and slow.
Despite each of the sisters having their own traumas I still struggled to really care about any of them. Goldie and Liyana felt the most developed, I wish more time was spent with Bea and Scarlet for more development.
At times I would get lost during Bea's parts. I'm not sure why.
Goldie and Leo relationship did nothing for me. If anything made me a little uncomfortable at times. So by the end when everything came to a head I didn't feel for any of them.
The world itself needed more explanations. The more I read the more lost and confused I became. I'm still unsure how anything works. Or even why it has to be the way it is. I wish more time was spent on world building and less on boys.
TW: sexual abuse, suicide thoughts, incest, self harm.
