The Book Eaters

3.5 ⭐️

I started this book not knowing anything about it and not expecting much.
And I was pleasantly surprised by my unexpected enjoyment of it.

The story starts with the standard - woman wronged by patriarchy, which I find myself kind of fed up with, being that I see it in every other book. It was original for a while, but I can certainly feel the over saturation of this trope.
However, I did like the spin the author put on it, as well as the fact that she was not afraid to make the characters grey and not cookie cutter good or bad (in the general case).
What I liked the most here was the writing style - very subtle and easy to go through, while still beautiful.
I liked the suspense and rhythm of the story as well. The ending sequence especially was very satisfying and kept me on the edge of my seat.

The book is not perfect, but it was quite an enjoyable read. And I sincerely hope we will get a continuation of the story (the ending certainly makes that possible).
