A review by foiblesandfiction
The Poison Season by Mara Rutherford

medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Thank you to the publisher for a review copy.

Editor, come get your book!  It's broken.

All tell, no show.  
Shallow, boring characters.
Underdeveloped setting and lore.
Nonsensical plot points and twists.

The premise was promising, the cover is gorgeous, but this is the kind of book that makes me understand why people swear off the young adult genre.
