-Ransom Riggs.
This was a well written book, with at least interesting characters, and the subplot of World War ii had me invested. I also enjoyed the relationship that the main character had in regards to the other characters, as well as Jacob's wit and humour.
Sadly, none of that was nearly enough. If you're into slow-burn plots and the fact that a huge portion of the novel didn't really have much to do with the story (that'll of course be the WW2 plot, which felt like it could've been easily replaced with any war AND was really just used as an excuse to write off the grandfather's warnings as PTSD), then this just might be the book for you. It was not,however, the book for me.
I don't necessarily mind waiting for a novel to reach it's point, I understand that not everything's going to be action packed from the very beginning. However, when I manage to make it half way through a book, and not much has happened/not many questions have been answered, that tends to be a problem for me.
That being said, maybe I just wasn't in the correct headspace to read the book, and maybe I'll revisit it in a few months from now and update this review. Who knows, but like I always say, read the book yourself, form your own opinions, and remember to keep warm and read.
