not_nosferatu 's review for:

The Other Valley by Scott Alexander Howard
4.0
challenging dark emotional reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I won my copy through a Storygraph giveaway MONTHS ago but was never interested enough to finish before now.

Would’ve given it a 4.5 but I HATE the ‘no quotation marks’ stylistic choice. 

The characters made flawed and realistic decisions, which I found enjoyable, and while the themes in this book are heavy, it flows well and I can’t come up with something better than “it may not be an easy read but it was easy to read”
