The Briar Club & More Bookish Stuff

Not sure how to review this one.

First off, it’s not your typical Kate Quinn book. If you’re picking this up expecting a deep historical fiction story it is not going to be that. Instead, it reads more like a collection of short stories, since each chapter is from a different character’s point of view without any repeats (well one does but it’s short).

I guess it’s best to break it down by chapters for ⭐️ rating:

• Peter: 1.5

• Nora: 4

• Reka: 2.5-3

• Fliss: 3

• Bea: 2.5-3

• Clair: 4

• Arlene: 3.5

Author’s Note: Actually the best part of the book!

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲?

This is a very slow character driven story. Most of the chapters feel like they become repetitive within their own character’s story and it made it hard to really get into and enjoy for some of the chapters.

Thank you, WilliamMorrow for this gifted copy in exchange for my honest opinions.

Bookish Stuff

Yesterday I came home to a massive stack of book mail and it completely made my day!

Really looking forward to working my way through all of these books!

I also have a new lineup of audiobooks, and I have already started listening to The Black Bird Oracle. Deborah Harkness’s All Souls series is one of my lifetime favorites so getting to dive in to book 5 has been a blast, and it definitely is living up to everything I love about this series.
