Pearl

this book wasn't bad by any means, but most of what i liked about it get reminiscent of other stories i've read. i definitely felt like there were too many characters and too much going on with each. while i recognize how that plays into the plot, it was just a bit frustrating to actually read. i also didn't like how pearls powers ‘evolved' so to speak. the horror just exited the realm of sense and i was more confused than scared. i really enjoyed the first half but the second half dropped the ball a bit unfortunately. it was a pretty solid book i'll probably never think about again.
