![]() But I also stand by the fact that I still really enjoyed reading this book. Review: As I said above, the characters in this book are flat, not particularly well-developed, and largely one-sided. Who would we give it to? If you watch Downton Abbey or read The Luxe series, you are in the target audience for this book, and you will probably enjoy it well enough to give it 3 stars on goodreads. ![]() It makes for an entertaining read, but it’s not shattering any expectations or breaking any new ground. The bad characters are bad and want and do bad things. ![]() ![]() The good characters are good and want and do good things. But one of the problems that’s bound to happen when you write stereotypical trope characters is that those characters don’t really get the chance to break out of their molds. I wouldn’t expect it to be a conversation starter, but I wouldn’t feel the need to stick a book cover over it to read in public either.ĭoes it Break the Slate? Only in a surface value kind of way. It tells me that the book is going to be 1) historical, and 2) melodramatic. It doesn’t do much for me, as a reader, but it also doesn’t turn me off. Genre: Historical Fiction (or is Downton-Abbey-inspired its own genre yet?)įace Value: This cover is unsurprising. ![]()
