The Fury

It's probably not fair that I always have such high hopes for a Michaelides book whenever I go into it, but The Silent Patient is my favorite book of all time so I just can't help it!

That being said, regrettably, The Fury was very underwhelming for me. The twists were just like... “that's it?” Nothing remarkable about it imo.

Lots of people think this book is slow in the beginning but I thankfully didn't have that problem, though I think if I would've bit the bullet and read this in one sitting I would've enjoyed it much more!

That being said this book was fast paced for me in the first half and I was thoroughly intrigued, I really really loved it and I was sure it was to be a 5 star read! All of that changed in the second half where I was just left with anticipation fatigue because I felt like the story was being dragged on with not much happening. Until things did happen! But by that point I was just like “oh ok.”

Regardless of The Fury not being my favorite, I'm always looking forward to Michaelides next novel!

P.S. in the epilogue there's a MAJOR spoiler for The Silent Patient so if you haven't already I suggest reading that book before this one!
