I didn't like this and I am so sad.I read [b:Still Life with Tornado 28588459 Still Life with Tornado A.S. King https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1467452390s/28588459.jpg 48755652] last year for reading olympics and loved it. I was so excited to see another A.S. King book on the list that I immediately picked it up. To me, this book wasn't compelling. It had the exact same formula as Still Life with Tornado so I didn't feel like anything was all that surprising. I didn't care much for the mystery so I didn't care much about the outcome. Even the characters fell flat to me. I also thought the setting was very vague- I loved all of the detail and thought that had been putting into the setting of Philadelphia in Still Life with Tornado that was just lacking in this book.I was really bored throughout this book. I listened to it as an audiobook and it took me ages to do so as a result. I didn't care about the characters or the story. I am thoroughly disappointed. I wasn't even a huge fan of the narration either. It was just so flat.Perhaps this book wouldn't be so disappointing and boring if it isn't your first A.S. King book. But, for me at least, this was one of the biggest let-downs of this year so far.
