Reviews

[Sarah Mac · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was a carbon copy of my previous Thornton read, i.e. thinly-drawn characters, episodic incidents strung together, & uninteresting prose that gives an initial impression of depth yet is totally uninvolving due to those same thin characterizations & episodic plot. (In short: a vicious cycle of mediocrity.) Also, the author seemed more interested in Damama—Aimee’s native tigress of a nanny/surrogate mother—than Aimee herself. Why? Perhaps because Aimee was so utterly bland & uninteresting & spent half the book as a child or young teenager, which makes for a poor ratio in a cradle-to-grave novel of barely 300 pages. In any case, I grew more bored with every scene & skipped to the finale somewhere around the midpoint. Zzzz.
