A Study in Drowning

Rounded up from 3.75
This book is a atmospheric young adult historical fantasy with a romance sub plot. Plot pacing felt very slow to me and a bit repetitive - about 30% in and I was still wondering what the main plot of the book was. The plot picked up until the last 100 pages and I found that to be the best part of the reading experience for me. A slower plot usually doesn't bother me much if I feel the characters are well-developed. To me, both characters felt a bit flat to me which made the slow plot stand out more.
This is part one of a duology. The full story does get told with a small piece at the end that allows a jumping off point for book two. I'm not sure if I will continue with the series or not but I liked my experience. I also had the edition with the sprayed edges of a bookshelf and the beauty of the book did enhance my reading experience.

Me ha sorprendido tantísimo... el romance maybe podría ni estar tbh. Ella es chulísima, mi pobrecita lo pasa fatal, pero es IMPRESIONANTE la evolución que tiene. Effy, eres la mejor no puedo esperar a leerte más.
Qué terrible era navegar el mundo sin una historia que te consolara.
