“I read this book for a book club, so I haven’t read the other two. While I enjoy anything a little witchy, a little demonic, and heavy on cat presence, I do feel as though there’s quite a bit *missing* from this book. It felt like it was taking on a lot, there were a lot of ambitious storylines going on, and therefore the emotional stakes had to be split up quite a bit between all the different plots. I feel as though Jane, while working through some very real familial trauma issues, drew the short stick on emotional depth and exploring her emotions, because in no way will anything compare to the horrors and trauma that was inflicted during the Holocaust. No matter what, Miriam’s plot line was always going to be more serious and more impactful, and Jane’s plot line was going to seem frivolous and silly in comparison. I feel as though the storylines that are tackled in this book could have been divided up into a three part series of its own, so as to devote proper time to dive into what the characters are going through. Jane has never met her father, and then seeks him out, but hides it from her mother. In any other book this would be a huge event, it’s certainly something I would talk about in therapy! But the novel was so JAM PACKED with so many huge and traumatic events made it hard for anything to hold any sort of weight. Additionally, the novels are marketed as being able to stand alone, and you don’t have to read them in order to understand them. While this is true to an extent, I do believe that this is a novel that relies very heavily on the assumption that you’ve read the previous two books, and that the reader knows the baseline of the world and concepts explored. While overall an interesting and enjoyable read, it did not make me want to go back and read the first two.
