The Listeners by Maggie Stiefvater
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I am a huge Stiefvater fan and could not wait to read her adult debut. Even though this plot seemed a bit weird, I knew that I would find the writing enjoyable.
And I wasn’t wrong.
There was so much of Stiefvater’s attention to detail, her quirky characters, her unusual storylines. I loved June as a main character. I loved all the Gilfoyle stories and I loved each of the unique characters along the way and I really liked the twist. Even though this was historical fiction, it was more because it felt like a Stiefvater novel.
I wasn’t crazy about the water under the hotel and never truly understood its significance to the story line. I am sure this is my miss but in my opinion it didn’t add much to the story.
with gratitude to netgalley and Viking for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
