This is the story of “Bertha”, Rochester's wife in [b:Jane Eyre 10210 Jane Eyre Charlotte Brontë https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1557343311l/10210.SY75.jpg 2977639]. It helps to have read Jane Eyre first.This is painful. Horribly painful. I have to say that I didn't like Rochester much in Jane Eyre. Now I hate him. I feel sort of bad for Jane, but I believe she is good enough to stand up to that POS.
She is not her husband :-D
I enjoy her story of her childhood. I love the courting. The proposal was delicious :-D
I have laughed, I have cried, and I love this woman :-)
I loved to hear how she sees her husband.
And I'll stop this review, because otherwise I'll talk about politics.
I do enjoy this story very much. I like the tone of the writing, even though the author's americanism comes across a little bit disturbing, but - uh. Just a minor irritation. It doesn't change anything.
Also, I am a bit... disturbed by that the MC is supposed to be 16.
WARNING FOR ANIMAL ABUSE
Also, sexual abuse, incest, rape, murder, torture, and other such things, but I suppose that is to be expected. The animal abuse was a biggie to me. I wasn't prepared for that. Luckily it wasn't especially graphic.
So - I liked it. I love Lisbeth Salander. I don't like Mikael, though. It's not that he's a bad character, he just isn't my kind of person. I like that he is kind and smart and has decent boundaries, doesn't push, etc. but he just doesn't work for me.
The mystery was interesting.
I liked it.
It was really scary and Libba managed to raise questions. I'm going to read the next book. I'm especially curious about Theta and the green eyed girl...
