Status Updates From The Girl in the Bog

I really love the setting and the mythology, and some of the characters are awesome. Some other characters I want to just skip over. It’s starting to slog in the middle with whole pages being taken up by one character’s monologue about something that happened to them. The beginning was really strong and the language is beautiful so I want to continue but it’s hard with the constant word vomit.

The girl in the bog now knows the circumstances she faces. Essentially, the old Irish folklore from her original life has followed her since she was dug out of the bog.

It seems there's more than just the girl in the bog showing up from the past.

Despite being really old, it seems someone from way back when is looking for the girl from the blog. And maybe the girl doesn't want to be found.

There are the finders pair and the trio of of Red Witches of the West. Plus an archaeologist whose role is tbd.

I think I have just read the most amazing paragraph-long description of a person/character ever. It's actually so good I wish I could quote it here, but there's a character limitation, so it won't fit (p. 82).

As I began reading the book, I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy it. It's grown on me and seems to have developed into its own. But this one paragraph is so well done that it feels like it's made the book for me.

She may be centuries old and preserved by the bog. An archeologist is coming to see, but the body's been moved. And the 3 Ginger Sisters are also looking for her.

This is a library after-hours book club selection. It's too early for me to have an opinion. I think, however, we have met the girl in the bog.
