Book Review of Spill Simmer Falter Wither

Spill Simmer Falter Wither
lbb avatar reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


Going by all the glowing comments on the dust jacket, I had high hopes that I'd like or even love this book. It was described with words like beautiful, poignant, stunning, exceptional, etc., and written superbly.

Well, those reviewers must have read a different book. I absolutely hated this one. I found it dark, depressing, gross, etc. To care about the characters in a book, I have to like them, which I couldn't do with this book. Also, I enjoy lots of dialogue/conversations in books. There was almost none of that here. Ugh.

You may like this book, but I will never read another book written by this author.
