She Rises by Kate Worsley


My second win from Waterstones - an advanced copy of 'She Rises' by Kate Worsley. With competitions and christmas I am getting quite a back log of books to get through!

Looks quite interesting, will update when I've read it :)

Value: £10.39

Update: So I just finished reading this one. Overall I'd have to say...it's ok, but not great. It took a very long time to get going, made worse by the fact that the characters are kind of...drippy. Louise lacks any kind of personality (especially at the beginning), and Luke spends most of his time walking around "feeling scared." And that's about it. It does improve around the half way point when events start to pick up, but then is let down again by an unsatisfying conclusion. The way the two plots are intertwined is quite interesting, so I would say it is worth reading if you have some spare time and a bit of patience.
