Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab - 5/10
All summer I had been waiting to read this but held off to save it for my holiday. Well, I finally had that holiday and, unfortunately, ended up really disappointed.
Maybe my expectations for this were too high and I'm being unfair, but this just didn't do anything for me.
The structure was complicated and detracted from the story and the ending felt incredibly rushed and pointless. In the rush, the character who we come to know and follow through most of the story is suddenly cast aside as soon as moral conflict arises.
A shame.
