The Doll's House

I won't rate this because I didn't finish it, but I just couldn't force myself to continue on. I stopped about 70% of the way through because the book was just a failure for me almost from the start and I didn't see it getting any better. About 15-20% of the way into the book you find out who the “bad guy” is and the only suspense left is whether or not the captive is going to survive. I never got a sense of who she was due to underwhelming character development and therefore didn't develop an attachment to her. Whether she lived or died was the only real “question” in the end and I found myself not really caring what happened to any of the characters. The pacing was good and the book was action packed, but once the suspense element was taken from me as a reader, I found myself bored.

Thank you to Penguin and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book for review.
