Women in Love

well, i didn't see any of that coming.

in all fairness, i read this book not knowing it's technically a sequel, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment. i didn't read the first book of the series (and i don't think i ever will, unless a copy magically lands in front of me for free) but this book can be enjoyed without much backstory in my opinion. the two sisters (ursula & gudrun) come from the first book and are probably more explored in the first book, so maybe don't skip it if you don't want their background first.

there are a few twists in this book that i hadn't seen coming. in fact, one of the big plot points went completely over my head and when i realised it, i couldn't believe that i hadn't noticed earlier. there were some parts of the book that moved slow while the action occurred rather quickly and curtly, which can be painful for some people, so i would avoid this if you hate that kind of movement. but, either way, it unfolds well and is a good read overall.

full review to come on the blog.

Oh god. It's not a bad book, I like the general themes but it's so goddamn long
