The Cousins by Karen M. McManus
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
2.5
Kudos to McManus for getting me out of the reading slump that The Burning God had put me in. I've tried reading other books because I'm so close to finishing my reading challenge but nothing worked and when I saw this at the bookstore I thought "why not? I really enjoy her books" and it worked, what a blessing. And I enjoyed this one too, not as much as the other ones but still good. The thing is, it could've been great. The premise of the book is good but it lacked exploration, it felt to me that we only scraped the surface of the potential the plot and characters had, which is a shame.
