Still Water

⭐⭐⭐

This is a hard book for me to review. While I found myself super engaged in the story (finished it in 2 days), there were also so many things that were just...strange (for lack of a better word). First up, this book is melancholy on steroids. Reading it was like sitting under a wet wool blanket. On top of that, every single character was unlikable and an Eeyore. Last, and this one may be because I haven't read book one in this series, but Clare's relationship with Malcolm was just so weird and confusing. So yeah, a bit of a mixed bag. Clearly I enjoyed it enough to finish it in two days, and I will probably give the next book in the series a try.
