If I was asked to describe their personalities I would have a really hard time doing it. I really love a flawed, layered character that I can get to really know but although I felt that I liked most of the characters in this book, I got to the end and still didn’t really feel I knew them as well as I would have liked. I think it’s important for me to point out here that this book isn’t boring, lots happens and some readers will have loved the way it is written, I just really like layers and depth and this was definitely more of a fairytale ( I appreciate this is probably intentional!)Īs for the characters, I’ve kind of touched on this above but I just felt they were quite flat. I also felt like the plot went from being super simple to having lots going on all at once rather than having one or two things happening that were really well developed which I think would have resulted in us seeing more layered characters too. In fact what the plot did for me was leave lots of unanswered questions and one of those was “ Why did Lottie so desperately want to go to Rosewood Hall?” The plot was okay, it did have its moments where I will happily admit to being interested and I read the book fairly quickly but it just didn’t scream ‘READ ME’ or have anything that I found particularly gripping. I didn’t dislike this book but neither did I love it. That’s how I would describe this book for me.
