The Centaur's Wife by Amanda Leduc
3.75
challenging dark emotional hopeful sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

A beautifully written, truly weird story that never really developed.

The narrative voice - I fell in love with. The characters - even more so. But the plot was a mess that never really untangled. I appreciate what the author was trying to do, but I think it fell short in many ways, and never really became anything at all.
