Lucy Undying by Kiersten White

slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

3.5

Thank you for DelRey and Netgalley for the eARC of Lucy Undying in exchange for an honest review.
Lucy Undying is a gothic fantasy that follows Lucy's escape from Dracula and her own self-discovery through time. I found Lucy Undying to be really intriguing, in terms of the characters and the way the story is written. Lucy was an interesting character and I enjoyed seeing her getting to know and understand herself, including her sexuality, throughout the story.
I really enjoyed the unique narrative with Diary entries, different characters points of views and different timelines that all brought the story together at the end. It kept the book mysterious and interesting throughout to see the relevance coming together.
However, I did find it quite slow paced and struggled to get fully engaged and invested in the story. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy Lucy Undying as much as I was hoping although I can really see the intogue and appeal, and hope others do too!
